History
THIS DATE IN BASEBALL
———
June 5
1911 — Boston’s Smoky Joe Wood struck out three Chicago White Sox pinch hitters in the ninth to preserve a 5-4 win.
1915 — Philadelphia’s Grover Cleveland Alexander lost his no-hitter when Artie Butler punched a single with two outs in the ninth. Alexander struck out Bob Bescher for the final out to beat St. Louis 3-0. Alexander went on to pitch three more one-hitters during the season.
1955 — New York’s Mickey Mantle hit a home run off Chicago’s Billy Pierce that traveled an estimated 550 feet. The ball cleared the left-field upper deck at Comiskey Park.
American League
Yankees 7-2, Tigers 4-4
DETROIT — Yankees slugger Aaron Judge struck out eight times in nine at-bats, the most in a doubleheader since strikeouts for hitters were first recorded in 1910 for the NL and 1913 in the AL, according to the Elias Sports Bureau, including five punchouts in the nightcap as Detroit split the twin bill with New York. The five strikeouts were a career high for Judge, who led the majors with 208 strikeouts while winning AL Rookie of the Year last season. Leonys Martin had two hits and scored twice for the Tigers in the second game after the Yankees took the opener 7-4 behind Luis Severino’s eight strong innings, during which he struck out 10 and allowed just one earned run.
