A’s OF Rickey Henderson sets the American League single-season stolen base record with his 97th in a 5 – 1 win over the White Sox, breaking Ty Cobb’s record of 96 set in 1915. Henderson will finish the season with 100 stolen bases.

September 30, 1980

In the second game of a twinbill, the A’s Jimmie Foxx doubles in the 8th to break up Elden Auker’s no-hit bid. Detroit rolls, 15 – 1 collecting 20 hits. Foxx has a pair of homers in the opener, again in vain, as the Tigers win, 7 – 5. Mickey Cochrane has three hits in each game for Detroit.

September 8, 1935

The Rangers crush the Red Sox, 10 – 0, to record a team-record 23rd shutout on the season. Derek Holland gives up only a pair of singles in 7 innings, and relievers Merkin Valdez and Mike Gonzalez toss a hitless inning each to complete the job. The Rangers score 6 runs against loser Andrew Miller in the first two innings and never look back. The Rangers have scored an average of 7.52 runs per game in Holland’s starts, giving him the best run support in the majors, and he is now 13-5.
