This Date In Baseball
Sept. 3
1917–Philadelphia’s Grover Cleveland
Alexander went the distance in both
games of the Phillies’ 5-0 and 9-3 sweep
of the Brooklyn Dodgers.
1947–Bill McCahan pitched a 3-0 nohitter
to give the Philadelphia Athletics a
3-0 win over Washington.
1947–The New York Yankees had 18
hits, all singles, in an 11-2 victory over
Boston at Fenway Park. Tommy Henrich
and Joe DiMaggio each had four hits.
1957–Warren Spahn of the Milwaukee
Braves recorded his 41st career shutout
with an 8-0 victory over the Chicago Cubs
at Wrigley Field. Spahn’s shutout set a major
league record for left-handed pitchers.
1970–Billy Williams of the Chicago Cubs
asked to be kept out of the lineup, snapping
his National League record of 1,117
consecutive games played. His record was
broken in 1983 by Steve Garvey.
1981–The Boston Red Sox and the Seattle
Mariners played the longest game in
Fenway Park’s history, 19 innings, before
the game was suspended with the score
tied 7-7. The Mariners won 8-7 in 20 innings
when the game resumed the next
day.
1986–Billy Hatcher’s homer in the top
of the 18th inning gave the Houston Astros
an 8-7 victory over the Chicago Cubs. The
teams played 14 innings the day before
and used a major league-record 53 players
in the game.
1990–Bobby Thigpen set a major league
record with his 47th save in a 4-2 Chicago
White Sox victory over Kansas City. Thigpen
broke the record set by Dave Righetti
of the New York Yankees in 1986.
2000–Kenny Lofton tied a major league
record by scoring in his 18th straight
game in the first inning of Cleveland’s 12-
11, 13-inning victory over Baltimore. Red
Rolfe set the record in 1939 for the New
York Yankees.
2001–Bud Smith became the 16th
rookie in modern history to throw a nohitter
and the second to do it to San Diego
this season in St. Louis’ 4-0 win. Smith was
making his 11th career start.
2006–Ryan Howard homered in his first
three at-bats, leading Philadelphia to an
8-7 victory over Atlanta in the first game of
a doubleheader. Howard raised his major
league-leading total to 52 and set a record
for second-year players.
2006–Albert Pujols homered in his first
three at-bats, helping St. Louis beat Pittsburgh
6-3. Pujols, with 42 homers, reached
40 or more for the fourth straight season.
2007–Pedro Martinez completed his
comeback from major shoulder surgery
and quickly went into the record books,
becoming the 15th pitcher to strike out
3,000 batters in his career. The New York
Mets’ right-hander needed only two strikeouts
to reach the mark. He fanned Aaron
Harang swinging at an 87-mph fastball for
the milestone as the Mets posted a 10-4
win over Cincinnati.
2007–Ichiro Suzuki homered in the third
inning of Seattle’s 7-1 win over the New
York Yankees to reach 200 hits for the seventh
consecutive season, tying the Wade
Boggs’ AL mark.
2008–Baseball’s first use of instant replay
backed an onfield call of a home run
for Alex Rodriguez during the ninth inning
of the New York Yankees game against the
Tampa Bay Rays. Third-base umpire Brian
Runge signaled a home run after A-Rod’s
towering, two-run shot off Troy Percival
caromed off the catwalk behind the foul
pole in left field. Rays catcher Dioner Navarro
protested the call, bringing manager
Joe Maddon out of the dugout. The umpires
convened before leaving the field to
check the replay on a monitor not far from
the field. It took 2 minutes, 15 seconds to
uphold the homer that gave the Yankees
an 8-3 lead.
2009–Jorge Posada hit his 20th homer
of the season and drove in four runs to
help New York beat Toronto 7-5. Posada’s
homer gave New York a major leagueleading
seven players with at least 20 – the
first time the Yankees have done that in
team history. The seven 20-homer players
matched a major league record set three
times previously.
2013–Pinch-hitter Travis Snider homered
in the ninth inning to lift Pittsburgh
to a 4-3 win over the Milwaukee Brewers
that clinched the Pirates’ first non-losing
record in 21 seasons. It was victory No.
81 for Pittsburgh, ensuring it will not finish
with a losing record for the first time since
it went 96-66 in 1992.
2013–Jon Lester outdueled Max Scherzer
and Boston beat Detroit 2-1, to end the
Tigers right-hander’s chance to become
just the second pitcher to open a season
with a 20-1 record. Scherzer (19-2), who
won his first 13 decisions, lost for the first
time since July 13 when Texas beat him
7-1. Roger Clemens is the only pitcher to
start 20-1. He ended up 20-3 with the Yankees
in 2001.
