1934: Daffy Dean of the St. Louis Cardinals pitched a no-hitter against the Brooklyn Dodgers for 3-0 victory in the second game of an Ebbets Field doubleheader. Daffy's brother Dizzy held Brooklyn hitless until the eighth inning in the opener and won 13-0.
1981: Steve Carlton struck out Andre Dawson in the third inning for his 3,118th career strikeout, the most in the NL. But the Phillies lost to Montreal 1-0 in 17 innings.
2001: Albert Pujols hit a grand slam and doubled in a run in St. Louis' 9-5 win over Pittsburgh. The slam gave him the major league record for extra base hits by a rookie (83), one more than Johnny Frederick's total for Brooklyn in 1929.
