| 1948 | At the Polo Grounds, Dodger Rex Barney no-hits the Giants, 2-0. The Brooklyn 23-year old right-hander had to endure a one-hour rain delay as well as showers in the 7th, 8th, and 9th innings to finish his gem. |
| 1987 | Striking out 12 of the final 13 hitters and a total of 16, Nolan Ryan beats the Giants, 4-2. The 'Ryan Express' whiffs Mike Aldrette to end the seventh inning notching his 4,500th career strikeout. |
| 2001 | For the second time in the season, Barry Bonds hits three home runs in a game. The Giants left fielder, whose offensive output gives him 63 homers, passes the major league season mark of 61 for homers hit left-handed set by Roger Maris in 1961. |
| 2007 | In the first inning at Detroit's Comerica Park, Curtis Granderson steals his 20th base of the season to become only the third major leaguer to belong to the 20-20-20-20 club. The Tigers center fielder joins Frank Schulte (1911- Cubs) and Willie Mays (1957 - Giants) as the only players to record 20 home runs, 20 triples, 20 doubles and swipe 20 bases in a season. |
