The Phillies’ Terry Mulholland spins the major leagues’ 8th no-hitter of the season. Mulholland faces the minimum 27 batters in blanking the Giants, 6 – 0, as just one runner reaches base on a throwing error by Charlie Hayes. But Hayes makes the last putout by grabbing a Gary Carter line drive. John Kruk also makes a crucial play by reaching into the stands to pull back a one-out pop-up by Matt Williams in the 8th.

1990 – California posts a 9 – 5 win over the Yankees with the winning margin coming on an inside-the-park grand slam by Luis Polonia.

Barfield will misplay another drive into an four-run inside-the-park home run in two weeks.

The White Sox-Rangers game is finally postponed after a seven and one-half hour rain delay, which is believed to be the longest in baseball history. Although White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf said he did not regret the decision to make the fans wait so long for a game that never started and would do it again, the team announced five hours before the postponement that rain checks would be honored if the game was played, and free coffee, soft drinks, and sandwiches were served later in the evening to the few hundred fans remaining in the stands.
