In Toronto’s 5 – 3 win over Seattle, Toronto’s Rob Ducey is knocked unconscious in a collision at the plate with Seattle C Scott Bradley. Unlike most catchers, Bradley keeps his mask on for throws from the OF, and Ducey hits his head on the mask.

Despite Cal Ripken’s 30th homer of the year, Baltimore loses to Boston, 7 – 5. With 42 doubles already, Cal is the first SS in major league history to top 30 home runs and 40 doubles in the same year.
