That's our Braves, helping to set records and break some streaks..
1972 The Cardinals waste no time in blanking the Braves, 2-0, behind the two-hit pitching performance of Reggie Cleveland at Busch Stadium. The contest, which lasts only 93 minutes, is the quickest nine-inning game in Redbird history.
1973 At Atlanta Stadium, Hal Breeden of the Expos becomes only the second major leaguer to pinch-hit home runs in both ends of a doubleheader. In 1943, Red Sox player-manager Joe Cronin accomplished the feat in a twin bill against the Philadelphia A's.
2010 The National League wins its first All-Star Game since 1996, beating their AL rivals at Angel Stadium, 3-1. Braves catcher Brian McCann, the Mid-Summer Classic's MVP, hits a three-run double with two outs in the seventh inning to break the Senior Circuit's 14-year drought.
And elsewhere around baseball...
1896 Phillies outfielder Ed Delahanty hits four home runs in one game in a 9-8 loss to the hometown Colts. All of the future Hall of Famer's quartet of round-trippers at the West Side Grounds are the inside-the-park variety.
1922 Cardinal right-hander Bill Doak loses his no-hitter when he forgets to cover first base, turning Curt Walker's seventh-inning grounder to first baseman Jack Fournier into an infield hit. The Redbirds' star spitballer settles for a one-hitter, his second of the season, and a 1-0 victory over the Phillies at Sportsman's Park.
1934 Babe Ruth, in the top of the third inning at Detroit's Navin Field, wallops Tommy Bridges' 3-2 pitch far over the right field wall for his 700th career home run. The 4-2 victory over the Tigers puts the Yankees back into first place, but Lou Gehrig will be helped off the field in the first frame, suffering a severe bout of lumbago.....perhaps the beginning of the end for him.
1954 At Cleveland's Municipal Stadium, Senators hurler Dean Stone does not deliver a pitch, but gets the win in the American League's 11-9 All-Star victory. The Senators' southpaw throws out Red Schoendienst trying to steal home in the eighth inning for the third out before facing his first batter in relief.

One roster move to report:
Gohara was sent to AAA Preston Tucker recalled
Sorry, fumbduckery, but this could limit Santana's PH opportunities.

Santana will remain the go to guy. Tucker will be with the other forgotten players, like Flaherty and now Charlie Culberson who has been basically sitting for a week or more after OPSing .900 for 6-7 weeks. smh.....
