The Braves franchise history details significant moments including Johnny Sain's 11-game win in 1948 against the Phillies, Felipe Alou's two home runs off Sandy Koufax in 1966, and Dale Murphy's end of a 740-game consecutive streak in 1986. Other highlights include Leo Foster's unique debut in 1971 and Mike Schmidt's 513th career home run in 1987. Additionally, MLB history accounts for DiMaggio's cycle in 1937, the first All-Star Game shutout in 1940, and Nolan Ryan's record-setting strikeouts in 1972.
In 1966, Felipe Alou hits a pair of home runs off Sandy Koufax, helping Atlanta defeat the Dodgers 5-2, marking Koufax's final double-homer game against one batter.
Dale Murphy's historic streak of 740 consecutive games played ends in 1986, as he misses a game against the Phillies, having last sat out in September 1981.
