| 1965 | Giants center fielder Willie Mays breaks Ralph Kiner's record for home runs in a month when the 'Say Hey Kid' hits a moon shot off Jack Fischer for his 17th round-tripper in an 8-3 victory over New York. The former Pirates outfielder, now a broadcaster for the Mets on WHN radio and WOR-TV, calls the four-bagger, breaking the monthly mark he established with 16 round-trippers in September of 1949. |
| 1972 | In a 3-0 victory, Giants' right-hander Jim Barr retires the first 20 Cardinals he faces today, setting a major league record of recording 41 consecutive outs, having put out the final 21 players in his previous appearance against the first-place Pirates. |
| 1995 | With two out in the ninth inning at Three Rivers Stadium, Paul Wagner loses a no-hitter against the Rockies on an infield single by Andres Galarraga. The 27-year-old Pirates right-hander will win the game, 4-0, but will lead the National League in losses this season, posting a 5-16 record for Pittsburgh. |
