On July 25, 1937 — Washington’s Mel Almada ties the major-league record by scoring 5 runs in the first game of a doubleheader. When he adds four in the second game, he sets an 18-inning record, that still stands today. Teammate Buddy Lewis raps out 8 hits‚ 5 in the opener‚ in the doubleheader‚ and will tally three on the 27th and four the following day. His four game hit total (15) ties Washington’s Joe Cronin for the AL record.

The Senators win, 16-10 and 15-5, in St. Louis. In 1987, Mark McGwire will score 9 runs in consecutive days. The Senators sweep tarnishes a tribute to St. Louis manager‚ Jim Bottomley‚ who is presented with gifts and flowers in the 5th inning of the lid-lifter.
