History

THIS DATE IN BASEBALL

———

Aug. 22

1886 — Cincinnati outfielder Abner Powell was literally brought down by the dog days of summer. Chicken Wolf of the Louisville Colonels hit a deep drive and Powell took off after it, joined by a dog that had been sleeping by the fence. The dog bit Powell’s leg before the outfielder could get to the ball and wouldn’t let go as Wolf scored on a game-winning inside-the-park homer.

1961 — Roger Maris, en route to his 61-home run season, became the first player to hit his 50th homer in August. He connected off California pitcher Ken McBride in a 4-3 loss to the Angels.

American League

Astros 3, Mariners 2

SEATTLE — Josh Reddick homered to give Houston the lead for good. Reddick’s tiebreaking homer in the fourth inning put the Astros ahead 2-1, and Yuli Gurriel added an RBI single in the sixth. Seattle pulled to 3-2 in the eighth inning, but stranded the tying run at third base after pinch hitter Nelson Cruz and Dee Gordon struck out.

Nationals 10, Phillies 4

WASHINGTON — Andrew Stevenson and Wilmer Difo hit back-to-back home runs in a five-run sixth inning and Washington rallied past Philadelphia, hours after the Nationals traded Daniel Murphy and Matt Adams. Stevenson, who was called up from Triple-A Syracuse earlier in the day, tied the game with his first career homer, a two-run pinch-hit shot to center. Difo — starting at second base after Murphy was dealt to the Chicago Cubs — followed with a shot to right off Victor Arano.
