This Day in Braves History: Greg Maddux signs a five-year extension

1944 - Red Barrett needs only 58 pitches to shut out the Reds 2-0 setting a major league record for the fewest pitches thrown in a nine-inning game. The game takes one hour and 15 minutes and is the shortest night game ever.

1991 - A game between the Astros and Braves is delayed for five minutes when a moth becomes lodged in the ear of Houston outfielder Mike Simms. Astros trainer Dave Labossiere removes the insect with a pair of tweezers. The Braves go on to win 4-0.

1996 - The Rockies jump out to a 7-0 lead against the Braves and then get back-to-back homers from Andres Galarraga and Vinny Castilla off of Mark Wohlers in the 10th for a 9-7 win.
