2014 – Bo Porter is dismissed as manager of the Astros as internal dissension over personnel moves comes to a boil. Tom Lawless is named the interim manager. Despite a 110-190 record (.367) in less than two years, Porter had seen his club win more in five months of 2014 than they had the entire 2013 campaign.
Cole Hamels of the Phillies combines with three relievers, Jake Diekman, Ken Giles and Jonathan Papelbon, for a 7 – 0 no-hitter over the Braves.

2013 – Zack Greinke defeats the Padres, 2 – 1, behind Yasiel Puig’s 14th homer, to give the Dodgers a three-game sweep. They now lead the NL West by 11 1/2 games.
Josh Beckett wins his first game as a member of the Dodgers, giving one run in 6 2/3 innings in beating the Diamondbacks, 2 – 1. Andre Ethier hits a tie-breaking homer off Matt Albers in the 6th to give the Dodgers the win.
David Freese homers and drives in three runs to lead the Cardinals to a 10 – 9 win over the Nationals. Matt Holliday also homers and Matt Carpenter has a three-run double, snapping a hitting slump for the Redbirds, who had scored only once in their previous 32 innings. Adam LaRoche and Danny Espinosa homer for Washington, which gives up a run in the 8th to tie the game, and another in the 9th to lose it when Allen Craig leads off with a single against Drew Storen, steals second and comes in on Freese’s single. Jason Motte then picks up his 32nd save.
The Phillies move to 41 games above .500 for only the third time in franchise history – the other two were in 1976 – as they complete a four-game road sweep of Cincinnati with a 6 – 4 win. Rookie Vance Worley is cruising with a 6 – 1 lead in the 7th when he allows a three-run pinch homer to Chris Heisey, just activated from the disabled list. His bullpen then takes over and he registers his 10th win of the year; the Phillies have now won his last 12 starts. The Phillies will win again tomorrow to go 42 games above .500 for the first time.
