| 1917 | In a 22-inning contest against the Dodgers, Pirates' outfielder Carson Bigbee sets a major-league record with 11 at-bats. The game was also the fourth straight extra-inning game played by Pittsburgh (59 innings), setting a National League record. |
| 1965 | In one of the ugliest moments in baseball history, Juan Marichal, believing Johnny Roseboro threw too close to his head while returning the ball to Sandy Koufax, attacks the Dodger catcher with his bat, precipitating a 14-minute brawl. The Los Angeles backstop will need to leave the game, requiring 14 stitches to close the gash on his head, and the National League will suspend the Giants' right-hander for eight days (10 games) and fined him a record $1,750. |
| 2000 | Dodger first baseman Eric Karros, hitting a solo blast and a three-run round-tripper during a nine-run sixth inning of a 14-6 victory over the Expos, becomes the first player in the 111-year franchise history to hit two homers in an inning. |
| 2000 | Reds' outfielder Alex Ochoa helps set a major league record by hitting the 142nd grand slam of the season. The Cincinnati outfielder's first career bases-loaded homer eclipses the previous mark for grand slams, established in 1996. |
