7/18/1889 – The Philadelphia Phillies were hosting the Pittsburgh Alleghenys. The home team elected to bat first and scored three runs in the top of the first. In the bottom of the first, Pittsburgh had a man on first and two outs with the number four hitter, Al Maul, due to bat. However, James “Deacon” White, the number five batter in the lineup hit a double that scored the runner. The Phillies appealed, and Tom Lynch, the umpire, correctly called Maul out to end the inning without the run counting.

Milwaukee’s 5 – 2 win over the Diamondbacks is marred by serious injuries suffered by a player on each team in the 4th inning. First, D-Backs SS Stephen Drew breaks his ankle when he is tagged out sliding at home plate and will be out for the remainder of the season. On the next play, Brewers CF Carlos Gomez makes a terrific diving catch on Ryan Roberts’ short fly ball to end the inning, but breaks his collarbone and will also be out a long stretch. Ryan Braun hits a 1st-inning homer for the Brewers, but an apparent second long ball in the 8th is taken away when instant replay shows it was a foul ball. The game then goes into extra innings and Milwaukee scores three runs in the top of the 10th to break the 2 – 2 tie.
