Twenty-four year-old sophomore hurler Danny Salazar strikes out ten White Sox batters in 3.2 innings during the Indians’ loss at U.S. Cellular Field, marking the first time since 1914 that a starting pitcher whiffed ten batters without finishing the fourth frame. The right-hander gives up five earned runs and six hits and gets all his outs via the strikeout, except for Adam Eaton, who is thrown out at second base, trying to stretch a single into a double for the first out in the third inning.

2014 – As usual, sparks fly in the first meeting of the season between the Yankees and Red Sox. New York defeats Boston, 4 – 1, behind the pitching of Michael Pineda, but Boston’s broadcasters claim they have detected pine tar on Pineda’s pitching hand. The Yankees’ hurler dismisses the claim, saying it is just sweat mixed with dirt, while umpire Brian O’Nora states that nothing of concern was brought to his attention.
