» 1990: Cal Ripken’s errorless streak ends at 95 consecutive games, as Baltimore loses to Kansas City 10-9. The streak is a new major-league record for a SS, eclipsing Kevin Elster’s 89-game mark.
» 1979: The Cubs Dave Kingman has a single and three consecutive HRs during a 6-4 loss to the Mets. It is Kingman's 2nd 3-HR game of the season (May 17th), and enables him to tie the major-league record with five HRs over two consecutive games.
» 1966: Rick Reichardt, California's young hitting star, is sidelined with a kidney ailment. He will have a kidney removed in two weeks.

» 1888: Jimmy Ryan hits 2 triples, 2 singles, and a HR and pitches 7 innings in relief to lead Chicago to a 21-17 decision over Detroit, dropping Detroit into a first-place tie with the Giants. The Colts trail by 21Ž2 games.
