On This Date in Baseball

1928 - St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Grover Cleveland Alexander opens his 18th season by shutting out the Pittsburgh Pirates 5 - 0. Kyle Lohse accomplished the same feat today by shutting out the Houston Astros. Interesting...

1980 - At County Stadium, Cecil Cooper and Don Money of the Milwaukee Brewers each hit second inning grand slams against the Boston Red Sox. Too bad that the Astros (managed by the same Cecil Cooper) couldn't manage more than three singles off of Kyle Lohse today. Interesting...
