This Day in Braves History: August 27
Braves Franchise History
1949 - Jeff Heath ties the game with a pinch hit homer and then later wins it with another homer for the Braves against Cincinnati. Heath is the first player in Major League History to hit a pinch-hit homer and then homer again later in the same game. It will be 36 years before it happens again.
1958 - Bob Trowbridge walks Orlando Cepeda with the bases loaded in the 12th to give the Giants a 4-3 win over the Braves. It is the Giants’ first win against the Braves in their past nine games.
1960 - Lew Burdette’s streak of 32 2/3 scoreless innings is snapped when he gives up a home run to Felipe Alou in a 3-1 loss to San Francisco.
