For the second straight season, a pitcher tosses a no-hitter on the last day of the regular season. After Henderson Alvarez last year, it’s Jordan Zimmermann’s turn to shine, as the Nationals defeat Miami, 1 – 0. It is the first no-hitter in Nats history, although they recorded four such games when they were the Montréal Expos. Ironically, Alvarez ends up the loser, allowing a solo homer to Ian Desmond in the 2nd for the only run of the game. LF Steven Souza saves the day by making a tremendous catch of a line drive by Christian Yelich to end the game.

7/7/1996 – On the last day before the All-Star break, the Milwaukee Brewers’ Matt Mieske batted out of turn in the top of the second inning at Yankee Stadium. The lineup posted in the dugout was different than the one given to the umpires. After John Jaha led off the inning by doubling to right-center, Mieske singled to right, moving Jaha to third. When Yankee skipper Joe Torre talked with the umpires, Jose Valentin, the proper batter, was called out. Mieske then batted again and flew out to right. The Brewers beat the Yankees, 4-1.
