1967 – Jim Wynn smashes two home runs, his 34th and 35th of the year, to drop the Dodgers, 5-3. Wynn becomes the first in franchise history to reach 100 RBIs. Mike Cuellar wins his 14th of the year.
1964 – St. Louis becomes the first National League club to score in each inning since the Giants did it on June 1, 1923. They coast, 15 – 2, at Wrigley Field with Curt Simmons improving his record to 15-9. Dick Ellsworth goes to 14-15 for Chicago. Julian Javier, Lou Brock and Mike Shannon homer for the Birds. A dropped pop-up in the top of the 9th secures St. Louis’ place in history.
Scoring in every inning, the Chicago White Sox beat the Boston Red Sox, 12 – 8, at Comiskey Park. A team tallying in every inning has only occurred five times in American League history.
Milt Gaston of the Red Sox beats the Senators to stop a 10-game winning streak by the league-leading Senators. In 1929, he halted an 11-game string by the A’s, the eventual pennant winners.
In a baseball rarity, the Pittsburgh Pirates score in every inning, a major-league record of course, defeating the Reds, 11 – 2. Deacon Phillippe is the winner over Jesse Tannehill, who will be his teammate next year.
