| 1980 | In his 14th major league game, Gary Ward becomes the sixth Twins player to hit for the cycle in the team's 9-8 loss against the Brewers at County Stadium. In 2004, the left fielder's son Daryle also collects a single, double, triple, and a home run in the same game, making the pair the first father-son combination to accomplish the rare feat. |
| 2006 |
The Dodgers, who are last in the National League in homers, hit four consecutive home runs in an inning when Jeff Kent, J.D. Drew, Russell Martin, and Marlon Anderson all go deep in the bottom of the ninth to tie the Padres, 9-9. The improbable feat, accomplished only by the 1964 Twins, 1963 Indians, and the 1961 Braves, leads to Nomar Garciaparra's walk-off two-run homer in the tenth and sole possession of first place when Los Angeles beat the Friars, 11-10.
