| 1992 | At Three Rivers Stadium, Barry Bonds connects his 30th home run of the season off Phillies' right-hander Terry Mulholland in the Pirates' 5-2 victory. The home run gives the Pirates outfielder his second 30/30 season, equaling a feat accomplished only by Bobby Bonds (his father), Willie Mays (his godfather), Howard Johnson, and Ron Gant. |
| 2006 | Having accomplished the feat with the Indians and Phillies, White Sox DH Jim Thome becomes only the second big leaguer to hit 40 home runs with three different teams when he goes deep in an 8-2 loss to Detroit at U.S. Cellular Field. Alex Rodriguez also reached the milestone with the Mariners, Rangers, and Yankees |

En route to whiffing ten batters in the Braves' 5-2 victory over Philadelphia, Spencer Strider strikes out seven Phillies in 4â
innings to become the quickest (in terms of innings) to reach 200 strikeouts, surpassing Randy Johnson by a third of an inning who accomplish the feat in 130â
frames in 2001 with Diamondbacks. The 22-year-old becomes the third rookie, the first in the modern era, in franchise history to reach the plateau.
(Ed. Note: The Braves right-hander joins Kid Nichols and Bill Stemmeyer, who also struck out 200 batters in their freshman year with the team- LP) |
