2015 – The Mets win their seventh straight in dramatic fashion as Daniel Murphy hits a game-tying three-run homer off Ryan Kelly of the Braves with two out in the 9th. They then score three runs in the 10th, benefiting from an ill-timed throwing error by 3B Hector Olivera, to win, 10 – 7. It is their first four-game sweep of the Braves since 1989, while the Braves have lost 12 straight at home for the first time since 1931.

2010 – Today’s game between the Dodgers and Giants is decided through unusual events. Dodger Coach Don Mattingly is acting for manager Joe Torre, ejected earlier in the game along with P Clayton Kershaw and bench coach Bob Schaefer, when he calls a conference on the mound with the bases loaded and closer Jonathan Broxton trying to protect a 5 – 4 lead. As he walks away from the mound, Mattingly hears a question from 1B James Loney and walks back to the mound to answer him. Opposing manager Bruce Bochy contends successfully that this constitutes a second visit to the mound, and that Mattingly should be forced to remove Broxton from the game. He replaces him with the struggling (and unprepared) George Sherrill, who promptly gives up a bases-clearing double to Andres Torres. However, the umpires, led by Adrian Johnson, are wrong on the play, as Mattingly should have been ejected and Broxton forced to complete the at-bat before being removed, during which time Sherrill could have warmed up more properly. In any case, the play is allowed to stand, with San Francisco getting a 7 – 5 win.
