On Aug. 23, 1989, the Los Angeles Dodgers faced the Montreal Expos at Olympic Stadium in what still stands as one of the more peculiar baseball games ever played. The pitching matchup was between two of the National League’s best from that season, reigning Cy Young Award winner Orel Hershisher and Pascual Perez.
Both pitchers did not disappoint, as Perez tossed eight shutout innings and Hershiser did not allow a run in seven innings before being lifted by then-Dodgers manager Tommy Lasorda in favor of a pinch-hitter in the top of the eighth.
Neither the Dodgers or Expos scored in the first nine innings, and the game went to extras where both teams had prime opportunities to bring home the winning run.
