This Day in Braves: Atlanta clinch 1st division title since 2013

1948 - For the fourth time this season, Stan Musial has five hits in five at-bats to set a National League record and tie the major league mark established by Ty Cobb. Stan the Man’s hits, which include a double and home run, come off five different pitchers on five consecutive pitches in the Cardinals’ 8 - 2 victory at Braves Field in Boston.

1974 - Pitcher Tom Griffin delivers a pinch-hit single in the 14th to edge the Braves, 3 - 2. The Astros scored only when necessary – plating runs in the bottom of the 9th and the bottom of the 10th before winning it later.
