"Cesar Geronimo hits one in the 2nd inning of the first game, as does the Braves' Darrell Evans. The Braves hang on for a 9 - 6 win, then take the second game by a 6 - 2 score. Johnny Bench hits the third grand slam of the day and drives in all six of the Reds' runs in that game."
"2010 - The Phillies take the lead in the NL East on Roy Oswalt's four-hit complete game shutout of the Mets, 3 - 0. Oswalt is now 6-1, 1.98, since being acquired from Houston at the trading deadline. Meanwhile, the Cardinals' Albert Pujols bangs two homers against Tim Hudson as the Braves lose, 7 - 3, to fall one game behind the Phils"
The 1953 Brooklyn/Los Angeles Dodgers clinched the National League pennant earlier than any previous NL team. In 1974 the Reds and Braves combined for a major-league record three grand slams in one day, with Cesar Geronimo, Darrell Evans and Johnny Bench homering; Bench finished with 129 RBIs and led the league with 315 total bases, a unique feat for a catcher. John Hiller set an American League record with his 17th win in relief in 1974. Carl Yastrzemski reached 3,000 hits in 1979. Ellis Burks joined the 30-30 club in 1996. Nolan Ryan reached double-digit wins in 20 seasons and moved past Tom Seaver on the career wins list.
