Pedro Feliz honors three former major leaguers (including his own manager, Felipe Alou) when he drives in Barry Bonds, Moises Alou and Lance Niekro with a bases-clearing double off Jorge Sosa during the Giants’ six-run 3rd against the Braves. Feliz is the first major-leaguer in the last 49 years to drive in three sons of ex-major-leaguers on the same play. Further research reveals that it is only the 11th time since 1957 that three sons of big leaguers were on base at the same time. Doing some record-setting of their own in the 6 – 4 loss, Brave battery-mates Brian McCann (C) and Sosa (P) become only the 11th such duo to hit back-to-back homers in the majors when they go yard consecutively. It is the first major league hit and homer for Sosa, who will have two more hits, both homers, this year.

2010 – After starting his career 0 for 33, Chris Carter hits a single off Chicago’s Scott Linebrink to spark a three-run rally in a 3 – 0 Oakland win. Carter is just two at-bats shy of matching the worst start to a career by a position player in 100 years. Vic Harris went 0 for 35 for the Texas Rangers in 1972, while Lou Camilli took three years to get his first hit after 34 unsuccessful at-bats for the Cleveland Indians between 1969 and 1971.
