| 1919 | Red Sox right-hander Carl Mays, before his July trade to today’s opponents, hurls two complete games in a doubleheader, beating the Yankees, 2-0, in the first game and losing the nightcap, 4-1, at the Polo Grounds. The 26-year-old submariner accomplished the same feat last season on August 30 when he beat the A's 12–0 and 4–1 in a twin bill played at Fenway Park. |
| 1949 | Joe DiMaggio returns to the lineup after missing the first 69 games of the season due to an ailing heel, which required an operation for bone spurs. The Yankee Clipper will go 5-for-11 (.455), connecting for four homers and driving nine runs in the team's three-game sweep against the Red Sox at Fenway Park. |
| 1984 | Dwight Evans completes a cycle with a walk-off home run, becoming only the fourth major league player to accomplish the feat. The Red Sox outfielder's game-ending three-run blast in the 11th inning gives Boston a dramatic 9-6 victory over Seattle at Fenway Park. |
| 2006 | In his worst outing as a Met during two seasons with the team, Pedro Martinez is routed by his former Red Sox teammates in his return when the Mets drop a 10-2 decision. The Fenway crowd, who chanted, "Pedro! Pedro!" before the game, showed their appreciation of the Dominican's history as a Red Sox player with a standing ovation during yesterday's video tribute which highlighted the right-hander's achievements with Boston. |
