- 1901 – Nap Lajoie of the Philadelphia Athletics receives the ultimate sign of respect from an opposing team when he is intentionally walked with the bases loaded by the Chicago White Sox.
- 2011 - Brian Fuentes of the A’s falls to 1-7, dropping his fourth straight decision. He becomes the third reliever (since at least 1920) to lose 7 times in his team’s first 50 games - Gene Garber and Jim Kern had previously done so.
