Today in Baseball History:
- 1977 - Cardinals outfielder Lou Brock steals second base in a 4-3 loss to the Padres. It is career steal 893 for Brock, breaking Ty Cobb’s modern record.
- 1990 – The defending World Champion A’s seemingly lock up another pennant by acquiring slugger Harold Baines from the Rangers for a pair of minor leaguers (Ps Scott Chiamparino and Joe Bitker) and OF Willie McGee from the Cardinals for Felix Jose and two more minor leaguers (3B Stan Royer and P Daryle Green). McGee, who will be a free agent at the end of the year, is hitting .335, which will lead the National League in hitting.
Best of Twitter:
- Go Padres!
Seattle lost tonight, so the A's are a season-high 5 1/2 games up in the race for the second wild-card spot.

- More on David Wright...
By our calculations, Wright is scheduled to earn $3.21M for September. If he does not come off the DL, #Mets recoup $2.41M of that sum through insurance.
