2001 – In their first game since the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the Astros stun Robb Nen with two runs in the ninth to edge the Giants, 3-2. Jeff Bagwell’s triple chases home Adam Everett before Moises Alou’s sacrifice fly breaks the tie. Mike Williams wins in relief while Billy Wagner notches his 37th save. 

2001 – The Rockies came back from a 6 – 0 deficit in the 1st inning, in which they make five errors, and pound Curt Schilling to defeat the Diamondbacks, 10 – 9. The Rocks win it on dramatic back-to-back homers by Todd Helton and Jeff Cirillo off Byung-Hyun Kim in the bottom of the 9th. The D-Backs’ lead over San Francisco is now just 1 1/2 games.
