"1914: - Boston Braves' hurler George Davis no-hits the Phillies, 7-0. 1935: With the Cardinals' Phil Collins losing to Curt Davis and the Phils, 4-3, the Cubs extend their winning streak to six straight games. Chicago tops the Braves, 5-1 and 2-1, behind the pitching of Larry French and Tex Carleton, cutting the Cardinal lead to a single game. 1969: Atlanta's Phil Niekro wins 20 games for the first time with a 2-1 defeat of the Dodgers."
"1990: Tigers outfielder Scott Lusader loses the battle to bright sun and soggy turf and makes three errors (two fielding and one throwing) in the first inning against the White Sox. It's a first in the American League since 1925. The Sox score seven runs in the inning and coast home, 13-3, snapping the Tigers' seven-game winning streak. 1993: The major leagues vote to divide each league into three divisions and add another round of postseason featuring one wild card team in each league."
Baseball milestones include pitching accomplishments, offensive outbursts, and organizational changes across decades. In 1914 George Davis no-hit the Phillies, 7-0. In 1935 the Cubs extended a six-game streak and beat the Braves twice to tighten the race. Phil Niekro reached 20 wins in 1969. Mario Soto struck out 15 in 1980, and Bruce Sutter recorded his 300th save in 1988. The Braves scored 29 runs in a 29-9 win in 2020, with Adam Duvall hitting multiple homers and driving in nine. Other entries note Scott Lusader's three first-inning errors (1990), the 1993 shift to three divisions with a wild card, Randy Johnson's fifth straight 300-strikeout season (2002), Todd Helton's tenth consecutive 35-double season (2007), and MLB tributes in 2020 urged by Roberto Clemente's family.
