The White Sox drop Cleveland to 3rd place while winning a pair, 5 – 4 and 7 – 6. In the second game, they also set a major-league record with three run-scoring sacrifice flies (by Juan Pizarro, Nellie Fox and Al Smith) in the 5th inning when they score six runs. Indian RF Gene Green makes the first putout of the 6th inning, but then muffs two other fly balls, both of which are credited as sacrifice flies, the scorer assuming the runners on 3rd could have scored anyway.

The Colt .45s win when game is cut short due to fog
1962 – The Colt .45s walk off with a 7-3 victory over Cincinnati, cut short due to fog. The Reds must have thought they’d entered some Biblical plague what with the heat, humidity, a blinding fog and those Texas-sized mosquitoes. A six-run rally puts Houston on top early. Manager Harry Craft has something else on his mind – the birth of his first grandchild is taking place at the same time.
Sandy Koufax no hits the Mets 5-0
With the aid of 13 strikeouts and a Frank Howard home run, Sandy Koufax no-hits Bob Miller and the Mets, 5 – 0 in Los Angeles. Sandy starts off the game by fanning the side on nine pitches in the 1st inning, the first National League pitcher to strike out the side on nine pitches since Brooklyn’s Dazzy Vance, in 1924. It will be the first of four career no-hitters thrown by Koufax.
