Despite Delahanty's achievement on July 13, 1896, the Phillies lost to the Chicago Colts, one of only two occasions when a player hit four home runs but finished on the losing team. The other such occasion took place in 1986, when Bob Horner struck four home runs for the Braves but the Montreal Expos emerged victorious. Following Delahanty's four-home run game in 1896, no other player would accomplish the feat for nearly 36 years, the longest gap between such occurrences. The shortest interval took place in 2002, when Mike Cameron hit his four on May 2, 2002, and Shawn Green repeated the feat 21 days later, on May 23. This was the first time two players had achieved a four-homer game in the same season; this would occur again in 2017 when Scooter Gennett and J.

Only base-runner was a hit by pitch with two outs in the 8th. Bob and Ken Forsch are the only set of brothers to have thrown no-hitters. He was traded to the Pittsburgh Pirates after the season. First no-hitter thrown against the Expos, and the third the Expos had participated in . Ellis later claimed to have been under the influence of LSD. Second game of a two-game series, in which both were no-hitters.
Jeff King is the sole player to accomplish the feat in consecutive seasons. Willie McCovey, Mark McGwire, David Ortiz, Rodriguez, Gary Sheffield, and Sammy Sosa are also members of the 500 home run club. The feat is typically achieved by hitting the ball over the outfield fence in fair territory without it first touching the ground, which results in an automatic home run. There is also the rarer inside-the-park home run, where the hitter circles the bases while the baseball is in play on the field. In Major League Baseball , a player in each league wins the home run title each season by hitting the most home runs that year.
Let's take a look at baseball's leaderboards for single-season home runs
Mariners are the first team to have two combined no-hitters against them in one season. Garza faced the minimum (only base-runner allowed was retired on a double play). Opposing starter Max Scherzer threw 5⅔ no-hit innings. The Rays are the first team since 1991 to pitch a no-hitter and be no-hit in the same season, and the first since 1956 to be involved in three no-hitters in one season. Martínez lost a perfect game with two outs in the eighth inning due to a walk by the Marlins' only base-runner. Fifth no-hitter in Rangers history and the fourteenth perfect game in MLB history.
First Orioles no-hitter since 1969, also against the Athletics. Milacki was hit on the hand by a ground ball in the sixth inning and had to leave the game after completing the inning. Stieb lost three potential no-hitters in the ninth inning over the previous 2 years, including one that would have been a perfect game. Only no-hitter thrown by an Expos pitcher at Olympic Stadium. Previous 2 were one in Philadelphia and one also in Montreal, but at Jarry Park .
Most walkoff home runs in a season (all teams combined)
This can be accomplished by hitting the ball out of play in fair territory , or by an inside the park home run, where the batter circles the bases before the ball can be delivered to a fielder to tag him out. Friday night in Los Angeles' Dodger Stadium, Cardinals legend Albert Pujols hit two home runs in the first four innings. They happened to be Nos. 699 and 700 in his illustrious career.
In modern baseball, the feat is typically achieved by hitting the ball over the outfield fence between the foul poles without first touching the ground, resulting in an automatic home run. There is also the "inside-the-park" home run where the batter reaches home safely while the baseball is in play on the field. McCovey was one of the game’s elite first basemen throughout the 1960s. He led the league in home runs three times, highlighted by his MVP season of 1969 when he hit .320 with 45 home runs and 126 RBIs. Robinson burst onto the baseball scene with 38 home runs and a league-high 122 runs scored as a 20-year-old rookie with the Reds in 1956. He continued to be one of the game’s top power hitters for the next 15 years, though he led the league in homers only once .
Octavio Dotel struck out four Yankees in the eighth inning, the first Astros pitcher to pull off the feat since 1986. In the fifth inning, Dan Pasqua hit a fly ball to left field that deflected off the glove of Kirk Gibson. After initially being ruled a hit, the play was later changed to an error on Gibson.
Eighth no-hitter in Tigers history, and first since 2011. First time there had been five no-hitters thrown this early in a season since 1917. Mariners were no-hit at home for the second time in 13 days, the first team to do that since 1923. First no-hitter in Mets history and the first no-hitter thrown at Citi Field. A ball hit by St. Louis' Carlos Beltrán was controversially ruled foul by the third base umpire, preserving the no-hitter in the 6th inning.
Preserved by a diving catch in the ninth inning by rookie center fielder Rusty Greer. Season shortened by the 1994–95 Major League Baseball strike. Robin Yount made a diving catch in center field to rob Eddie Murray of a hit for the final out. Brewers' ninth win in a row to start the season; they would go on to win their first 13 games, tying the Major League record.
He enjoyed a monster 2007 season in Cleveland, when he hit 52 home runs and led the league in slugging (.677) and OPS (1.122). Hammerin’ Hank hit 755 homers in his career without hitting 50 in a single season and leading MLB only four times. A model of consistency, the Alabama native smacked at least 40 bombs in a season eight times, with a high of 47 in 1971.
Ten days later, Jiménez again shut out the Diamondbacks 1-0, allowing only two hits. Randy Johnson was the losing pitcher in both games. Cardinals scored the only run of the game on Thomas Howard's RBI single with two outs in the top of the ninth inning.
