| 1890 | On Labor Day at Brooklyn's Washington Park, the Bridegrooms, later known as the Dodgers, win all three games against Pittsburgh in the first tripleheader ever played. The home team sweeps the visiting Alleghenys, who will become the Pirates next season, 10-9, 3-2, and 8-4. |
| 1953 | The Cardinals tie a major league mark, hitting five homers in a 12-5 loss to Brooklyn at Ebbets Field. The solo shots hit by Stan Musial, Harry Elliot, Rip Repulski, and Steve Bilko (2), all off starter Preacher Roe, aren't enough to offset the Dodgers' 17-hit attack, which includes six doubles but no round-trippers. |
| 1969 | At Dodger Stadium, Willie Davis ties the franchise record by getting a hit in 29 consecutive games with his second-inning single in LA's 10-6 victory over New York. Zack Wheat established the mark in 1916. |
