Derek Jeter becomes only the third player to score at least 100 runs in his first seven major league seasons. The Yankees’ shortstop joins Hall of Fame outfielders Ted Williams (Red Sox, 1939-49) and Earle Combs (Yankees, 1925-32) as the only big leaguers to accomplish the feat.

The Red Sox score a 10 – 9, 10-inning victory over the Angels as Manny Ramirez gets five hits, including a pair of home runs.

The first video streaming coverage of a major league baseball game takes place on the internet. Approximately 30,000 fans visit MLB.com to see the Yankees defeat the Rangers, 10 – 3. Alfonso Soriano sets a team record for home runs by a second baseman. The previous mark of 30 was established in 1940 by Joe Gordon.

Arizona’s Randy Johnson strikes out 16 Cubs as the Diamondbacks defeat Chicago, 7 – 0.

Participating in a minor-league baseball promotion, a 28 year-old woman collapsed and dies after running from the outfield fence to the infield in quest of a hidden diamond. She was one of approximately 250 women hoping to find a small box containing the treasure after the game between the Orlando Rays and Jacksonville Suns.

The Orioles drop a pair to the Blue Jays, losing 4 – 1 and 8 – 3. This is the start of a miserable 4-31 year-end slide. In game 1, a makeup of a July 23 rainout, Vernon Wells has four hits, including a homer, and scores three runs. Pete Walker pitches seven innings for the win. The bright spot for Baltimore is Mike Bordick, who fields four chances flawlessly to set a major-league record with 428 straight chances without an error. It breaks the mark that Cal Ripken set in 1990. Wells and Chris Woodward hit homers in game 2.

The Angels defeat the Red Sox, 2 – 0. Manny Ramirez’s streak of reaching base in 14 straight plate appearances is stopped two short of the major league mark.

Cleveland’s rookie C Josh Bard hits a game-winning 2-run home run in the bottom of the 9th inning against Seattle in his first major league appearance. He has two hits and three RBIs as the Tribe wins, 4 – 2.

The Padres score nine runs in the 5th inning on their way to an 18 – 2 win over the Marlins. Bubba Trammell, who has two homers in the game, starts the scoring in the 5th with a homer. 7 players have RBIs in the 5th, and the last 11 hitters come up with the bases loaded. Jake Peavy is the easy winner.

Bobby Abreu hits a solo homer in the 14th to give the Phillies a 5 – 4 win over the Cards in 5 hours, 13 minutes. Scott Rolen is 4 for 5 in his first appearance against his old team.
