1920s[]

1930s[]

  • 1932 - Carey Selph of the Chicago White Sox collected his ninth strikeout of the season. But it won't happen again. Selph will go another 89 games without striking out, to set a major league-record, hitting .283 in 396 at-bats in his second and last season. The Selph’s record will last until 1958, when Nellie Fox set a new mark with 98 consecutive games whitout striking out.

1940s[]

1950s[]

1960s[]

  • 1962 - New York Mets relief pitcher Craig Anderson won both ends of a doubleheader. Success will soon turn to failure. Anderson will lose his next 16 decisions on the season and 19 decisions overall. In fact, he will never win another game in the major leagues.

1970s[]

1980s[]

  • 1984 - Cincinnati Reds pitcher Mario Soto was one out away from a no-hitter when the Cardinals George Hendrick hit a home run to tie the game 1–1. Cincinnati then rallied for a run in the bottom of the 9th inning to give Soto a one-hit 2–1 victory.

1990s[]

  • 1999:
    • Boston Red Sox pitcher Pedro Martínez struck out 15 batters for the second consecutive game in the 9–2 victory over the Seattle Mariners.
    • The Angels shuts out the Yankees, 1–0, behind the combined three-hit pitching of Chuck Finley and Troy Percival. Finley stroke out 11 Yankees in his eight innings of work, including four in the third inning, to became the 33rd pitcher in history to strike out four in a single frame. It is possible when a batter with two strikes on him takes a swing at strike three; however, the catcher does not field the ball cleanly, and instead of tagging the runner out, the runner reaches the first base. The strikeout is recorded, but not the out.

2000s[]

  • 2001:
    • A.J. Burnett pitched an unlikely no-hitter, overcoming nine base on balls to lead the Marlins over San Diego 3–0.
    • MLB was ordered by arbitrator Alan Symonette to reinstate nine of the 22 'resigning' umpires let go two years ago and must give back pay for missed time. The order also states veteran umpires Frank Pulli and Terry Tata do not need to retire after the season as previously planned.
  • Carlos Delgado hit his 204th home run in a Toronto Blue Jays uniform, surpassing Joe Carter in the all-time Blue Jays career leader in homers.
