Along with the Baltimore designated hitter, Gavvy Cravath and Bill Werber are the two other major leaguers to accomplish the feat.

Game 1 of the NLDS between the Dodgers and Nationals features a match-up of aces – Clayton Kershaw vs. Max Scherzer – but neither lives up to his billing. Scherzer gives up a pair of homers to Corey Seager and Justin Turner, while Kershaw stumbles through five innings, allowing a slew of baserunners, but limiting the Nats to three runs. Those early scores stand up until the end of the game as Los Angeles comes out on top, 4 – 3. In the other NLDS, Johnny Cueto for the Giants and Jon Lester for the Cubs lock up in a scoreless pitchers’ duel until the bottom of the 8th, when Javier Baez hits a solo homer. Aroldis Chapman comes out to pitch the 9th, and while Buster Posey comes close to tying the game with a drive to the left-field wall, the Giants fail to score and go down, 1 – 0.
