The
@Angels
paid tribute to Tyler Skaggs by throwing a combined no-hitter against the Mariners in Anaheim.
The last time there was a combined no-hitter in the state of California? Orioles-A's in Oakland on July 13, 1991 - the same day Tyler Skaggs was born.
#TheHaloWay
This game has now taken longer than the game time of the entire 1939
#WorldSeries
.
That year, the Yankees swept the Reds in four games that took a combined 7:05.
Zach Wilson of the
@nyjets
is the only opposing QB to have more completions, more passing yards, more TD passes and fewer interceptions than Patrick Mahomes in a Mahomes start, college or pro (out of 127 total starts, including postseason).
In the second half tonight, the
@49ers
' Brock Purdy:
- threw for 150+ yards
- rushed for 45+ yards
- completed 80% of his passes
- averaged 10.0+ yards per rush
- had 0 turnovers
No other NFL QB in the last 30 years has done all of that in a single half (reg or post).

100+ rushing yards
250+ passing yards
35:00+ TOP
no more than 25 penalty yards

- rushed for a TD
- had no turnovers
No other QB in NFL history has done all of that in the second half of a game.
Shohei Ohtani of the

That's the most HR by any player over a 21-game span in a single season in American League history.
Tonight the Raiders had:
- a 150-yard rusher (Josh Jacobs)
- a 100-yard receiver (Davante Adams)
- no turnovers
- no more than 2 punts
They're the first team in NFL history to do all of those in a game but still lose.
In each of his last 2 games, the
@warriors
' Trayce Jackson-Davis has:
- notched a double-double
- grabbed more than a dozen rebounds
- shot better than 70%
The last NBA player to do that off the bench in back-to-back games was his father, Dale Davis, from April 12-13, 2001.
Tonight the
@Dodgers
had:
-8 home runs
-2 grand slams
-2 separate sets of back-to-back HR
They are the first team in MLB history to accomplish all 3 of those single-game feats in the same season, let alone all in one game.
With a 71-60 loss to Illinois State today, Evansville finishes 0-18 in Missouri Valley play.
On November 12, the Purple Aces beat No. 1 Kentucky, 67-64.
They are the first team in NCAA history to beat the AP No. 1 team and lose all of their conference games in a single season.
Cody Bellinger now has 19 home runs and 7 outfield assists this season.
The last player to reach those totals through 52 games in a season: Babe Ruth in 1932.

player with a home run and multiple outfield assists in a single game since Gary Sheffield on July 3, 1998.
#LABleedsBlue
Tonight the
@Chiefs

-a RB catch a TD pass
-a WR catch a TD pass
-a TE catch a TD pass
-an OL catch a TD pass
-a TE throw a TD pass
No other team in NFL history has done all of those things in the same season, let alone in one game.
The Angels are the first MLB team to have a pair of former MVPs (Shohei Ohtani, Mike Trout) each get an extra-base hit but have the rest of the team go hitless since the Yankees did it with Mickey Mantle and Roger Maris on May 6, 1962.
Since QB starts were first tracked in 1950, only one NFL starting QB has completed 80% of his passes, rushed for 70+ yards, committed no turnovers and taken no sacks in a game.
That one QB was the
@Giants
' Tommy DeVito tonight.
Patrick Mahomes of the
@Chiefs
is the only NFL QB in the last 30 years to go 8-for-8 or better with 27+ rushing yards on any single drive in any game, regular season or postseason.
He did it in OT in the Super Bowl.
Felix Hernandez made what could be his last start in a
@Mariners
uniform tonight.
He has:
-Won a Cy Young
-Thrown a perfect game
-Struck out 2500+ batters
He's the only pitcher ever to do all three of those things for a single team.

Marcell Ozuna and Adam Duvall of the
@Braves
join Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig (May 21 & 22, 1930) as the only teammates in MLB history to have 3-homer games on back-to-back days.

#ForTheA
The

Four MLB pitchers in the modern era have had a WHIP of 0.72 or lower over their first 8 starts of a season with their team winning all 8.
Three were dead-ball era HOFers (1901 Christy Mathewson, 1907 Addie Joss, 1908 Mordecai Brown).
The other is the
@Phillies
' Ranger Suárez.
Lucas Giolito is the first pitcher to allow 8+ runs in a game for 3 different MLB teams in the same season since Bill Magee did so in 1899 for the Louisville Colonels, Philadelphia Phillies and Washington Senators.

Tony Gonsolin of the
@Dodgers

He's the first MLB pitcher to begin a season 10-0 with fewer than 50 hits allowed while pitching primarily as a starter since Walter Johnson did it in 1913.
Amed Rosario of the
@Indians
is the first MLB player to go 5-for-5 with 5+ RBI, an inside-the-park HR and an over-the-fence HR in the same game (since RBI became official in 1920).
This year Freddie Freeman of the

Since RBI became an official stat in 1920, the only other player to finish in the top 4 in MLB in all of those categories was Lou Gehrig in 1927.
#ForTheA
The

The
@Cubs
are the first team in MLB history to have 30+ fewer wins than their opponent entering a 3+ game road series and yet sweep the series winning every game by 3+ runs.
Shohei Ohtani currently leads the Angels outright in both plate appearances and innings pitched this season.
The last MLB player to lead his team outright in both PA & IP in the same season was Jim Devlin of the Louisville Grays in 1876.

-passed for 300+ yards
-passed for 3+ TD
-completed 70% of their passes

They are the first team in MLB history to enter July 10+ games under .500 and leave July with a winning record.
#SFGiants
Nikola Jokić of the
@nuggets
is the first NBA player to score or assist on 70+ points in a playoff game without committing a turnover (since turnovers were first tracked in 1977-78).

Today the
@SFGiants
' Buster Posey had 4 hits while catching Anthony DeSclafani's 3-hit shutout.
This is the 8th time Posey has caught a shutout (CG or not) while having more hits himself than the entire opposing team. That's the most such games by any catcher in the modern era.

#LABleedsBlue
Kris Letang's 6 assists for the
@penguins
tonight came in a span of 19:33.
No other player in NHL history has had 6 assists in a span of less than 30 minutes in a game (let alone 20).
The shortest span prior to tonight was 30:17 by Wayne Gretzky on February 15, 1980.
The
@Dodgers
bullpen went 9.1 innings and allowed only one hit in tonight's game.
Since 2000, the only other time a team's bullpen tossed that many innings while allowing 1 hit or fewer was the Dodgers on April 29, 2007, also at San Diego (10.2 IP).
Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce of the
@Chiefs
are the first WR/TE duo in NFL history to each have at least 10 receptions for 140 yards and a TD in the same game.
Seattle is the first metro area in MLB/NBA/NFL/NHL history to have rookies in 3 sports all begin their seasons in the same year & all earn selections to the All-Star Game/Pro Bowl later that season.
Julio Rodríguez,
@Mariners
Tariq Woolen,
@Seahawks
Matty Beniers,
@SeattleKraken
Former Cubs Kris Bryant, Anthony Rizzo and Javier Baez all homered in their debuts with their new teams.
They are the first trio in the modern era to each homer in their debut with a different team after playing on the same team earlier that season.
Matt Carpenter of the
@Yankees
is the second MLB hitter in the modern era to have a 1.000+ slugging percentage over his first 20 starts of a season.

(tonight)
Abraham Toro of the
@Mariners
is the first player in MLB history to hit a grand slam off a pitcher (Kendall Graveman) for whom he was traded earlier that season.
Since the 2-point conversion was adopted in 1994, the Raiders are the only NFL team to attempt a field goal in the last 3:00 of the 4th quarter when down by exactly 8 points with less than 5 yards to go for a first down (or TD).
The
@Ravens
are the only team in the Super Bowl era to:
-score fewer than 17 pts
-have fewer than 325 total yds
-throw at least 4 more INT than their opponent
...and yet still win the game.
Teams with those numbers were 0-275-1 in the Super Bowl era entering tonight (reg+post)

@SFGiants
' top starters:
1.50 - DeSclafani
1.50 - Wood
1.80 - Cueto
2.14 - Gausman
2.22 - Sanchez
They would join the 1978 A's as the only teams to have 5 starters with a sub-2.50 ERA in the month of April (min. 3 starts) since ERA became an official stat in 1913.
