On Aug. 23, 1906, the Chicago White Sox beat the Washington Senators 4-1 for their 19th straight victory en route to the American League pennant. In 1931, Lefty Grove of the Philadelphia Athletics lost 1-0 to Dick Coffman of the St. Louis Browns, ending Grove's 16-game winning streak after a misjudged fly by Jim Moore produced the deciding run. In 1936, 17-year-old Bob Feller struck out 15 in his first major-league start as the Cleveland Indians defeated St. Louis 4-1, allowing six hits and four walks. Subsequent events include ejections and suspensions, a 22-inning shutout homer, a rare no-hit professional game decided by walks and bunts, Barry Bonds becoming the first player with 400 home runs and 400 steals, and Randy Johnson reaching a fourth consecutive 300-strikeout season.
