| 1999 | For the twenty-third time this season, Diamondback fireballer Randy Johnson K's at least ten batters to tie Nolan Ryan's 1973 major league record for the most double-digit strikeout games in a season. The tall left-hander whiffs 11 Padres in seven innings in a 5-3 victory to bring his season-ending total to 364, which ranks fourth all-time. |
| 2007 | With 13 victories in the last 14 games, the Rockies beat the Diamondbacks to force a one-game playoff with the Padres to determine the National League wild-card team. One strike away from clinching a postseason berth yesterday, San Diego loses again today to the Brewers, ending the season with the same record as Colorado, 89-73. |
| 2009 | Francisco Rodriguez becomes the fourth pitcher in the game's history to yield two walk-off grand slams in the same season when Justin Maxwell goes deep, giving Washington a dramatic 7-4 victory over the Mets at Nationals Park. Last month, Everth Cabrera of the Padres also hit a game-ending four-run round-tripper, making K-Rod Rodriguez the only major leaguer to surrender two game-winning bases-loaded homers to a pair of rookies. |
