1925 - The Pirates defeat the Braves 2-1 as both teams combine for 23 hits but score just three runs.

1961 - Not a good day for Warren Spahn who allows four home runs including a grand slam by Willie Mays. Still the Giants needed run scoring singles in the eighth and ninth to secure an 11-10 victory. The two teams combine for eight home runs and 57 total bases.
