» May 6, 1990: Mariners 3B Edgar Martinez makes four errors in a 5–4 win over the Orioles, tying the American League record last equaled by Mike Blowers just three days ago.

» July 1, 1990: Yankees Andy Hawkins throws the season's 6th no-hitter, but still loses 4–0 to the White Sox. With two out in the bottom of the 8th, New York's Mike Blowers misplays Sosa's routine grounder for an error, and Hawkins walks two to load the bases. Outfielders Jim Leyritz and Jesse Barfield drop back-to-back fly balls to allow all four runs to score. Barfield loses Ivan Calderon's fly ball in the sun and the ball bounces off his mitt. Ken Johnson in 1964 was the last pitcher to lose a no-hitter.

» May 24, 1995: Seattle 3B Mike Blowers drives in eight runs in the Mariners' 15-6 victory over the Red Sox. He strokes four extra base hits in the contest—2 doubles, a triple, and a home run. The hits raise Blowers' average 61 points—from .118 to .179.
