1951 – In a move that will aid their pennant drive, the Giants put OF Bobby Thomson at 3B to replace the slumping Hank Thompson, out with a spike injury. Thomson, who’s been riding the bench since losing his starting job to the rookie Willie Mays, will hit .357 for the rest of the season.

2017 – The Astros win Game 3 of the 2017 World Series at home, 5 – 3 over the Dodgers, behind a great combined pitching performance by Lance McCullers and Brad Peacock, who limit Los Angeles to 4 hits. The Astros chase Yu Darvish with 4 runs in the 2nd, but five relievers manage to keep the game close until the end, although the Dodgers’ bullpen is heavily taxed again, with 6 1/3 innings of work after having had to work 7 innings in Game 2.
