This Day in Braves History: Atlanta ends Pete Rose’s 44-game hitting streak

1914 - The miracle Braves beat the Cardinals 4-3 in 10 innings to reach the .500 mark at 45-45.

1953 - Warren Spahn tosses his 31st career shutout in a 5-0 win over Philadelphia. An infield single by Richie Ashburn is the only hit Spahn will allow.

1954 - The Dodgers and Braves mix it up after Clem Labine beans Joe Adcock in the head. Gene Conley answers by knocking down Jackie Robinson who ends up brawling with Eddie Matthews. The Braves win the game 10-5. Adcock, who was wearing a batting helmet, returned to the lineup the next day.
