On September 7, 1993,  St Louis Cardinals OF Mark Whiten ties the major-league record for RBIs in a game with 12 in St. Louis’ 15 – 2 win over the Cincinatti Reds in the second game of a doubleheader. Whiten hits a record-tying four home runs, including a 1st-inning grand slam, in the contest. His only out is a pop out in the 4th. Todd Zeile, who scores three in the opener, scores ahead of Mark three times, while Gerald Perry is on base for each of the homers. He equals the single game mark set by Jim Bottomley in 1924 with 12, and with one RBI in the opener, a 14 – 13 loss, he also ties Nate Colbert’s mark of 13 RBIs in a doubleheader.

Whiten homered off Rob Dibble in the 9th, off Larry Luebbers in the1st, off Mike Anderson in the 6th and 7th.

Prior to today, Whiten had not homered in four weeks. Bob Tewksbury (16-8) is the winner in the Whiten blowout.
