History

THIS DATE IN BASEBALL

———

April 20

1910 — Addie Joss of Cleveland pitched the second no-hitter of his career, a 1-0 win over the White Sox in Chicago.

1912 — Fenway Park was opened in Boston and the Red Sox defeated the visiting New York Highlanders, later known as the Yankees, 7-6 in 11 innings. Tiger Stadium in Detroit also opened its doors as the Tigers defeated the Cleveland Indians 6-5.

1916 — The Chicago Cubs played their first game at Weeghman Park renamed Wrigley Field in 1926 defeating the Cincinnati Reds 7-6 in 11 innings.

1920 — Manager Gavvy Cravath of the Philadelphia Phillies inserted himself as a pinch hitter and beat the New York Giants with a three-run homer, 3-0. It was his last home run in the majors.

1939 — In his first major league game, Ted Williams hit a 400-foot double in four at-bats as the Boston Red Sox lost 2-0 to New York at Yankee Stadium.

2006 — Julio Franco became the oldest player in major league history to hit a home run when he hit a two-run, pinch-hit shot in the eighth inning to help the New York Mets rally for a 7-2 win over San Diego. Franco, 47, replaced Athletics pitcher Jack Quinn in the record book who was 46 years, 357 days old when he homered on June 27, 1930.

Red Sox 8, Angels 2

ANAHEIM, Calif. — Eduardo Rodriguez earned a quality start by holding Los Angeles to two runs on three hits with three walks over six innings. Mookie Betts led off the game with a home run. Andrew Benintendi also homered for the Red Sox. The Angels got very little production from the heart of their lineup. Mike Trout, Justin Upton, Albert Pujols and Shohei Ohtani combined to go 0-for-16. The Angels finished the series 14-for-95 (a .147 average), 13 of those hits being singles.

PHOENIX — Zack Greinke pitched seven dominant innings and Arizona won its sixth straight series over San Francisco. Greinke gave up a solo homer to Brandon Belt but not much else, allowing just three hits to win his second straight start. A.J. Pollock hit a solo homer off Ty Blach (1-3), and Ketel Marte also had a solo shot to help the Diamondbacks take two of three from the Giants. Arizona had never opened a season with more than two straight series wins.
