Chipper Jones hits his 400th career home run, becoming the third switch-hitter to reach this level. Eddie Murray and Mickey Mantle had reached the mark previously. Ricky Nolasco gives up the homer. Jones has a four-hit game to move his average to .418, the top mark in the majors at this point of the season. The Braves top the Marlins, 7 – 5.

2008 – Joe Mauer drives in two runs on a sacrifice fly to become the first major leaguer to accomplish that since Alex Ochoa in 2001. Down 5 – 2 in the 5th against Daniel Cabrera and the Orioles, the Minnesota star flies to Adam Jones at the warning track. Nick Punto scores and after Jones falls while trying to throw, Carlos Gomez comes around from second base.

Randy Johnson moves into second place on the all-time major league strikeout leaderboard. He strikes out 8 in 6 1/3 innings, most importantly getting Mike Cameron in the 1st to pass Roger Clemens for second place with 4,673. The 44-year-old “Big Unit” trails only Nolan Ryan but will not catch him.

Mike Lieberthal, signing a one-day contract for a mere four dollars, can retire happily as a member of the Phillies. The team’s popular former backstop, who spent the first 13 of his 14 major league seasons with Philadelphia, throws out the ceremonial first pitch, receiving a loud cheer from the large crowd at Citizens Bank Park.
