This Date in Baseball History


-1937: In Detroit, Rudy York hits his 17th and 18th homers of the month to set a major league record. The home runs help the Tigers defeats the Senators, 12-3

-1957: Minor league fireballer Steve Dalkowski strikes out 24 Bluefield Dodgers, but wildness (18 walks, four hit batters and six wild pitches) costs Dalkowski the game as Kingsport loses the game, 9-8.

-2005: On the third pitch he sees in the bigs, Jeremy Hermida becomes only the second player to hit a grand slam in his first major-league at-bat. The Marlins rookie joins Phillies pitcher Bill Duggleby who accomplished the same feat in 1898.
