JULY 19 IN BASEBALL HISTORY
» 2000: The Reds defeat the Astros, 4-0, as Pete Harnisch hurls the first complete-game shutout ever at Enron Field.
» 1989: Cleveland's Joe Carter hits three home runs in a game for the second time this season in a 10-1 win over Minnesota. It is his fourth career 3-HR game, tying Lou Gehrig's AL record, and also gives him a ML-record-tying 5 homers in 2 games.
» 1978: The Red Sox beat the Brewers 8-2 to increase their lead in the AL Eastern Division to nine games over Milwaukee, 12 1/2 over Baltimore, and 14 games over the fourth-place Yankees.
» 1964: Luis Tiant debuts with a 4-hit 3-0 win for Cleveland at Yankee Stadium.
» 1953: The Giants Whitey Lockman leads off the game with a HR for the second day in a row, as the Giants whip the Braves 7-5.
» 1942: The Brooklyn lead of eight games is cut as the Cards win three of 4. The larger blow, however, is a concussion suffered by Pete Reiser after crashing into an OF wall at Sportsman's Park chasing an Enos Slaughter 11th-inning fly. Reiser drops the ball upon impact, and Slaughter scores an inside-the-park HR for a 7-6 Cards' win. Hitting .379 at the time, Reiser will see his average fall to .310 after the injury. His 20 stolen bases will still lead the NL.
» 1927: It's John McGraw Day at the Polo Grounds, in honor of his 25 years as Giants manager. The Cubs spoil the day with an 8-5 win.
» 1915: The Nationals come out running, stealing a record eight bases against the Cleveland Indians in the first inning. Catcher Steve O'Neill is the victim of three SBs by Danny Moeller, two each by Clyde Milan and Ed Ainsmith, and one by George McBride in the 11-4 Washington win.
» 1902: The Giants lose their first game under new manager John McGraw 5-3 to the Phillies. They will end the season in last place.
» 1892: In losing 1-0 and 13*0 to the Bridegrooms, St. Louis extends its scoreless streak to 35 innings. The Browns, who have totaled only 15 hits in their last 4 games, will finally score after 38 innings against New York.
