1908 Red Sox legend Cy Young hurls his third career no-hitter, handcuffing the Highlanders at New York's Hilltop Park, 8-0. The 41-year-old right-hander pitched his first no-hitter in 1897 against the Reds and, in 1904, threw a perfect game facing the Philadelphia A's.
1950 Joe and Dom DiMaggio both homer in the same game for the only time in their careers when each goes deep in Red Sox's 10-2 rout of the Yankees. Dom's sixth-inning solo shot off Joe Ostrowski pads Boston's large lead, and Joe's round-tripper to left field in the top of the eighth frame is much too little too late in the Fenway contest.
2006 In a 5-2 loss to the Marlins, which stops their winning streak at 11, the Red Sox play their 17th consecutive errorless game. The accomplishment establishes a new big league mark, surpassing the Cardinals, who played 16 straight error-free games in 1992.
2007 Making his major league debut in center field at Fenway Park, Jacoby Ellsbury becomes the first person from the Navajo tribe to play in the major leagues. The 23-year-old member of the Colorado River Indian Tribes, who will play a significant role in the Red Sox World Championship, batting .360 in 11 total postseason games, is put out by the catcher unassisted in his first big-league at-bat.
2007 On Disability Awareness Night, the Fenway faithful support the cause by assisting a young man with autism. The enthusiastic Red Sox crowd of 38,000 fans continues singing the national anthem when the nervous singer has trouble getting through the song during the pregame ceremony.

2015 Chris Sale, making his 100th career start, becomes only the second major league pitcher to record 10-plus strikeouts in eight straight starts when he whiffs 12 batters in the White Sox's 2-1 extra-inning victory over the Cardinals at Busch Stadium. The 26-year-old southpaw joins Pedro Martinez, who also accomplished the feat in 1999 with the Red Sox.
2017 Blue Jays first baseman Justin Smoak's home run against the Red Sox is the 1,070th stroked in the majors in June, breaking the record for the most round-trippers hit in a month in baseball history set in May 2000. At the end of today's games, 33 dingers will increase the new monthly mark to 1,101.
