History

THIS DATE IN BASEBALL

Sept. 24

1940 — Jimmie Foxx of the Red Sox hit his 500th career home run. Foxx’s homer came after Ted Williams homered. Joe Cronin followed with a homer and, later in the inning, Jim Tabor also homered. The four homers in the inning were a first in the AL.

1974 — Detroit’s Al Kaline doubled for his 3,000th career hit.

1984 — Rick Sutcliffe led the Chicago Cubs to their first league title since 1945 with a victory over Pittsburgh.

2006 — Trevor Hoffman became baseball’s all-time saves leader, earning No. 479 to pass Lee Smith and help NL West-leading San Diego beat Pittsburgh 2-1.

2008 — Francisco Rodriguez worked the ninth inning of the Los Angeles Angels’ 6-5 victory over the Seattle Mariners to end the season with a record 62 saves.

American League

Rangers 6, Mariners 1

ARLINGTON, Texas — Adrian Beltre was given a standing ovation when he was removed from what could be his last home game for Texas, just before the Rangers rallied for four runs to beat Seattle. The 39-year-old, playing his 21st major league season, struck out twice and is hitting .275 with 14 homers and 61 RBIs.
