Today in Baseball History:
- 1988 - Infielder Jose Oquendo becomes the first non-pitcher in 20 seasons to get a decision, taking the loss in the 19th inning when Ken Griffey’s two-out, two-run double leads the Atlanta Braves over the St. Louis Cardinals, 7 - 5. Rocky Colavito had won a game in relief for the Yankees in 1968, in the last of two career appearances on the mound.
Best of Twitter:
- The weekend series turned out pretty blah too after a promising start...
A’s lose a blah game on a blah day. They’ve dropped five of their last six to fall two games under .500 for the first time since April 20.

Francisco Lindor has done little wrong in the batter’s box of late... except going up with the wrong helmet today. The shortstop had a good laugh at himself while retrieving the correct one in the first. pic.twitter.com/xwYStLVT4t
