FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY
» October 30, 1986: San Diego trades C Terry Kennedy and minor leaguer Mark Williamson to the Orioles for P Storm Davis.

» April 29, 1988: Baltimore pounds Chicago 9–0 for its first win of the season, ending its losing streak. Mark Williamson and Dave Schmidt combine on the shutout.

» July 13, 1991: The Orioles defeat the A's 2-0 on a combined no-hitter by pitchers Bob Milacki, Mike Flanagan, Mark Williamson, and Gregg Olson. It is only the second time in history that four pitchers have combined to throw a no-hitter. On September 28, 1975, Vida Blue, Glenn Abbott, Paul Lindblad, and Rollie Fingers turned the trick for Oakland against the California Angels. Milacki is lifted in the 6th after Willie Wilson smashes a ball off the pitcher's index finger.
