» 1990: The White Sox Melido Perez pitches a rain-shortened six-inning no-hitter over the Yankees, as Chicago wins 8-0. This is the seventh no-hitter this season, the most since 1917.

» 1911: In the first inning of a 9-0 win over the Athletics at Detroit, Ty Cobb walks, then on consecutive pitches steals 2B, 3B, and home off lefty Harry Krause. Cobb's 50 steals of home will top all major-league players.
