1932: St. Louis veteran Jesse Haines outduels Braves youngster Bob Brown 2-1 handing Brown his first loss of season.
1963: A rare sight. At Forbes Field, Pirates first baseman Donn Clendenon hits a somewhat historic home run “over the right-center fence near the 436 mark,” according to the Post Gazette’s Jack Hernon, “one of the few right-handed hitters to sail a ball out in that portion of the park.” Clendenon’s 6th-inning shot makes it 2 - 0, Pittsburgh, backing up Bob Friend’s five-hit shutout pitching in the first half of a doubleheader split with the Braves.
1992: Orel Hershiser the unsolvable puzzle for the Braves as Hershiser picks up 12th consecutive win over Atlanta with eight sparkling innings in a 3-2 victory.
