This Day in Braves History: Denny Neagle gives Atlanta five 15-game winners

1917 - The Braves beat the Pirates, 4-1 as Honus Wagner makes his final appearance of the season. Wagner has played sparingly since he was spiked by Casey Stengel on July 14 in a game at the Polo Grounds.

1928 - A notorious ninth inning for Braves reliever Ray Boggs who hits three batters, walks two more and tosses a wild pitch. Somehow, the Cubs still only manage to score once in the inning, but they win the game 15-5.

1930 - Wally Berger sets a record for a rookie with three home runs in a doubleheader against the Reds.
