Regular season events

January

January 9 – For the first time since 1996, the Baseball Writers' Association of America fails to select a player for induction into the Hall of Fame. Craig Biggio, in his first year on the ballot, leads all players with 68.2 percent of the vote and falls 39 votes short of induction. Jack Morris is next with 67.7 percent, followed by Jeff Bagwell (59.6), Mike Piazza (57.8 in his first year on the ballot) and Tim Raines (52.2). Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds and Sammy Sosa, all in their first year on the ballot, receive 37.6, 36.2 and 12.5 percent of the votes respectively.^[1]

February

February 7 – At Winter Baseball, Doug Clark hits a solo home run in the top of the 18th inning to lead Mexico's Yaquis de Obregón in beating Dominican Republic's Leones del Escogido, 4–3, to clinch the 2013 Caribbean Series final. The game lasts seven hours and 28 minutes, making it the longest game in Caribbean Series (55-year) history. The previous record of six hours, 13 minutes was set in the 2007 Opening Game, when Tony Batista of the Dominican Republic hit a bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the 18th inning to give his team a 4–3 victory over Venezuela. Mexico's pitcher Luis Mendoza is named the Most Valuable Player of the event.^[2]
February 18 – For the first time since salary arbitration began in 1974, none of the MLB players who file wind up arguing their cases. After peaking at 35 hearings in 1986, the number of salary arbitration cases argued had not reached double digits since 2001. The total of cases dropped to a record low of three in 2005, 2009 and 2011, and there were none at all in 2013. All 133 players who filed in January settled, gaining an average increase of 119 per cent, according to a study by The Associated Press .^[3]

March

March 5 – Major League Baseball intends to expand the use of instant replay for the 2014 season and will be studying over the course of this year which calls to review and how to do it. League officials plan to visit Miami during the World Baseball Classic and various spring training sites to examine camera angles and other factors that will help them develop a plan.^[4]
March 19 – At AT&T Park, the Dominican Republic blanks Puerto Rico, 3–0, to complete the most dominant championship run in the brief history of the World Baseball Classic. The Dominican team, managed by Tony Peña, caps an 8–0 unbeaten run to become the first undefeated champion team in the tournament. New York Yankees second baseman Robinson Canó earns MVP honors, after batting an average of .469 (15-for-32) with two home runs and six RBI, while Tampa Bay Rays closer Fernando Rodney finishes for his seventh^[3] save to extend his own Classic record. The losing team would congratulate the winner on the field, a sportsmanlike and uncommon gesture in MLB playoff games.^[5]
March 31 – In their American League debut, the Houston Astros defeat the Texas Rangers, 8–2, at Minute Maid Park. The victory is the 4,000th in the franchise's history, the first 51 years of which were played in the National League, the first three (1962–1964) as the Houston Colt .45's.^[6]

April

April 1 – At Dodger Stadium, Clayton Kershaw of the Los Angeles Dodgers shuts out the San Francisco Giants 4–0 on four hits and helps his own cause by homering in the same game. The home run, the first of Kershaw's career, comes in the eighth inning off relief pitcher George Kontos and breaks a scoreless tie. Kershaw, who had been locked in a pitcher's duel with Matt Cain for six innings, becomes only the second pitcher since 1921 to throw an Opening Day shutout and hit a home run in the same game, Bob Lemon having accomplished the feat in 1953.^[7]
April 2 – In defeating the Houston Astros 7–0 at Minute Maid Park, Yu Darvish of the Texas Rangers has a perfect game broken up with two out in the ninth, a Marwin González ground ball going through Darvish's legs for a single. Darvish, who is pulled after the base hit, records 14 strikeouts, which would have tied him with Sandy Koufax and Matt Cain for most strikeouts by a perfect game pitcher. The Rangers' last no-hitter had also been a perfect game, by Kenny Rogers in 1994. The Astros, victims of Matt Cain's perfect game in 2012, avoid joining the Tampa Bay Rays in 2009 and 2010 as the only teams to have perfect games thrown against them in consecutive seasons.^[8]
April 7 – Justin Masterson of the Cleveland Indians defeats David Price and the Tampa Bay Rays, 13–0. Coupled with his season-opening win over R. A. Dickey, Masterson becomes the third pitcher in MLB history to register victories over two reigning Cy Young Award winners in one season and the first to do so in consecutive starts. The San Diego Padres' Bruce Hurst defeated both Orel Hershiser and Frank Viola in 1989, while the Atlanta Braves' Shane Reynolds beat both Barry Zito and Randy Johnson in 2003.^[9]
April 14:
- The Chicago Cubs tie a major league record with five wild pitches in a single inning and become the first team to do so in a regular season game. Edwin Jackson and Michael Bowden combine to throw five wild pitches in the sixth inning of the game against the San Francisco Giants at Wrigley Field, equalling a feat performed by Rick Ankiel of the St. Louis Cardinals in the 2000 National League Division Series. The Giants go on to win the game 10–7 in 10 innings.^[10]
- The International Baseball Federation, as part of the attempt to reinstate baseball and softball to the Olympic program in 2020, announces that it will merge with softball's governing body, the International Softball Federation, to create a new body that will govern both sports. The new body will be known as the World Baseball Softball Confederation.^[11]
April 23 – In the second game of a doubleheader at Coors Field, B. J. and Justin Upton of the Atlanta Braves become only the second brothers to hit back-to-back home runs in the same game. B. J. begins the fifth inning by homering off Jon Garland, his third of the season. Next up, Justin follows with his league-leading 11th home run. The Braves defeat the Colorado Rockies 10–2. Lloyd and Paul Waner had been the only brothers to hit back-to-back home runs, doing so for the Pittsburgh Pirates on September 15, 1938.^[12]
April 26 – At Comerica Park, Aníbal Sánchez of the Detroit Tigers breaks Mickey Lolich's 44-year franchise record for most strikeouts in one game, striking out 17 Atlanta Braves in eight innings in the Tigers' 10–0 victory. Sánchez sets the mark by recording a three-strikeout eighth inning, after which he is pulled. Lolich had held the previous franchise record of 16 strikeouts, doing so twice in 1969.^[13]

May

May 2:
- Major League Baseball announces that Atlanta Braves outfielder Justin Upton and Baltimore Orioles outfielder Chris Davis are named players of the month for April in the National League and American League, respectively.^[14] In his first season in Atlanta, Upton batted a .299 average with 12 home runs and 19 RBI while leading the Braves to a 17–9 April record. Davis is in his third season with the Orioles, but has finally tapped into his potential. Through the first month of the season, he hit .348 with nine home runs and 28 RBI while posting an OPS of 1.141.
- Clay Buchholz of the Boston Red Sox is named the American League Pitcher of the Month. In his five starts, Buchholz registered a perfect 5–0 record with a 1.19 ERA, 39 strikeouts and 13 walks over 37+2⁄3 innings of work, to help the Red Sox match a club record with 18 wins in April, a month mark also achieved in 1998 and 2003. This is Buchholz's second 'pitcher of the month' award. He previously won the honor in August 2010.^[15] Meanwhile, his counterpart Matt Harvey of the New York Mets is voted the Pitcher of the Month in the National League. Harvey went 4–0 in six starts, while his 1.56 ERA ranked third and his 46 strikeouts tied for fourth in the league. Harvey also becomes the first pitcher in the modern era to win his first four starts while allowing 10-or-fewer hits in that span.^[16]
- Justin Grimm of the Texas Rangers is named the American League Rookie of the Month for April. Grimm posted a 2–0 record and a 1.59 ERA, striking out 15 batters while walking four in 17.0 innings over three starts. Grimm was tied for first among AL rookie pitchers in wins, finishing fourth overall in innings pitched, and limiting his opponents to a .239 average.^[17] In the National League, Atlanta Braves catcher Evan Gattis earns Rookie of the Month honors for the month of April. In 21 games, Gattis led all major league rookies with six home runs, 16 RBI, a .566 slugging percentage and 43 total bases, while hitting .250 (19-for-76). The 26-year-old, who was selected by the Braves in the 23rd round of the 2010 First-Year Player Draft, ranked third among qualifying NL rookies in hitting, was tied for second with nine runs scored and finished fourth in hits. He also led all rookies with a club-high five game-winning RBI in his first month in the majors.^[18]
May 7 – Toronto Blue Jays pitcher J. A. Happ is struck in the head by a batted ball hit by Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Desmond Jennings. Happ suffers a head contusion and a left ear laceration. He leaves the field on a stretcher.^[19]
May 10:
- Shelby Miller is perfect after allowing a leadoff single by Eric Young, Jr., retiring 27 in a row for his first career complete game, in a St. Louis Cardinals 3–0 victory over the Colorado Rockies.^[20]
- Jon Lester hurls a one-hit, complete game shutout, to lead the Boston Red Sox to a 5–0 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays. Almost perfect, Lester retires the first 17 batters he faces before giving up a double to Maicer Izturis in the bottom of the sixth inning. After that, he retires the last Toronto 10 batters in succession. Besides, it is the 9,000th regular season victory in Red Sox history.^[21]
- Alex Cobb of the Tampa Bay Rays strikes out 13 in 4+2⁄3 innings against the San Diego Padres, recording 12 of the 14 outs by strikeouts, four of them in the third inning, when a wild pitch on strike three allows Will Venable to reach base. The other outs are recorded on grounders to shortstop in the first and third base in the fourth. The Rays won, 6–3, but Cobb does not get a decision. Nevertheless, Cobb becomes the first pitcher in major league history to strike out 13 while failing to complete five innings.^[22]
May 11 – St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright retires the first 13 batters faced in his start against the Colorado Rockies. Combined with the 27 straight outs hurled by Shelby Miller in his perfect game the previous day, the Cardinals tied a Major League Baseball record for most consecutive outs by one team against another at 40, set by the Texas Rangers on May 3–4, 1996. A one-out walk to Todd Helton in the 5th inning ends the perfect streak, though Wainwright keeps the no-hitter going until the 7th and ends up with a 3–0, two-hit shutout.^{[ citation needed ]}
May 12 – Chris Sale of the Chicago White Sox is not perfect against the Los Angeles Angels, but he is about as close as possible. Sale gives up just one hit to Mike Trout in the top of the seventh inning in a dominant 3–0 win. He walks no one, strikes out seven, and faces just one more batter than the minimum.^[23]
May 13 – Justin Masterson pitches a four-hitter for his second shutout this season, leading the Cleveland Indians over the New York Yankees, 1–0. Masterson (6–2) also had a shutout against the Chicago White Sox on April 12,^[24] becoming the first Cleveland pitcher to record two complete-game shutouts in the same season since Bud Black and Greg Swindell did it in 1989.^[25]
May 14 – The Philadelphia Phillies have signed 17-year-old German outfielder Julsan Kamara to a seven-year minor league contract, according to Philipp Wuerfel of Mister Baseball.com.^[26] Considered one of Germany's best prospects, Kamara attended the MLB European Academy in Tyrrhenia, Italy. He is a member of the German Junior National Team, and competed in last winter's International Power Showcase at Marlins Park in Miami.^[27]
May 18 – Gerardo Parra of the Arizona Diamondbacks hits a home run off the first pitch of the game from Tom Koehler, which holds up as the only run in the D-backs' 1–0 win against the Miami Marlins. It is the first MLB game in which a first-pitch homer was the only score since September 2, 1963, when Pete Rose's first-pitch shot gave the Cincinnati Reds a 1–0 win over the New York Mets.^[28]
May 19:
- Justin Masterson strikes out a season-high 11 in seven shutout innings to help the Cleveland Indians beat Félix Hernández and the Seattle Mariners, 6–0. The Indians topple yet another former Cy Young Award winner, improving to 7–1 this season against Cy Young recipients. Before Hernández, Cleveland defeated R. A. Dickey (April 2), David Price (April 7), Roy Halladay (April 30), Cliff Lee (May 1), Bartolo Colón (May 9) and Justin Verlander (May 11), with Jake Peavy being the only winner in these contests (April 14).^[29]
- Miguel Cabrera belts three home runs in a losing cause against the Texas Rangers, who collect 18 hits en route to an 11–8 victory over the visiting Detroit Tigers. Cabrera, the 2012 AL Triple Crown winner, becomes the 23rd player in MLB history to go 4-for-4 with at least three homers, five RBI and four runs scored. The previous 22 all were on the winning team.^[30]
May 21 – Mike Trout hits for the cycle and drives in five runs, scores two times and steals a base, in the Los Angeles Angels' 12–0 rout of the Seattle Mariners at Angel Stadium. At 21 years, 288 days of age, Trout becomes the sixth-youngest player in MLB history to hit for a cycle, being surpassed only by Mel Ott (20-75 in 1929), Cliff Heathcote (20-140 in 1918), Arky Vaughan (21-107 in 1933), César Cedeño (21-159 in 1972) and Mike Tiernan (21-21 in 1888).^[31]
May 24 – At Comerica Park, Aníbal Sánchez of the Detroit Tigers has his bid for a second career no-hitter broken up in the ninth as the Minnesota Twins' Joe Mauer singles with one out. The hit is the only one Sánchez allows as the Tigers defeat the Twins 6–0. Sánchez, who no-hit the Arizona Diamondbacks while pitching for the Florida Marlins in 2006, was bidding to become the sixth pitcher to throw no-hitters in both leagues, joining Cy Young, Jim Bunning, Nolan Ryan, Hideo Nomo and Randy Johnson. Mauer, who also broke up no-hit bids in the ninth inning in 2008 and 2010, becomes only the second player, after Horace Clarke, to break up three no-hitters in the ninth inning; all three bids Clarke broke up were during a one-month span in 1970.^[32]
May 30:
- The New York Mets sweep the New York Yankees for the first time in Subway Series history by completing a 3–1 victory at Yankee Stadium. Dillon Gee strikes out a career-high 12 and limits the Yankees to four hits over 7+1⁄3 innings, while Marlon Byrd blasts a two-run, second-deck home run. The Mets outscore their crosstown rivals in the sweep, 16–7, with the first two games played at Citi Field. Since the start of interleague play in 1997, the only Subway Series sweep had been performed by the Yankees, when they went 6–0 in 2003.^[33]
- Jacoby Ellsbury of the Boston Red Sox steals a team-record five bases in a 9–2 victory against the host Philadelphia Phillies. However, none of the steals leads to any runs. The five stolen bases are the most for a major league player since Tampa Bay's Carl Crawford stole six bases against the Red Sox on May 3, 2009.^[34]

June

June 1 – Paul Goldschmidt hits a tiebreaking grand slam in the eighth inning, leading the Arizona Diamondbacks to a 12–4 win over the Chicago Cubs. Arizona snaps the Cubs five-game winning streak, which they started on May 26 against the Cincinnati Reds.^[35]
June 2 – Garrett Jones of the Pittsburgh Pirates becomes the second major league player to hit a home run out of PNC Park and into the Allegheny River on the fly. The home run comes in the eighth inning off Cincinnati Reds' Jonathan Broxton and ties the game 4–4; the Pirates win in the tenth inning on Travis Snider's RBI single. Daryle Ward had been the only other player to reach the Allegheny on the fly, doing it for the Houston Astros on July 6, 2002.^[36]
June 3:
- Miguel Cabrera of the Detroit Tigers and Domonic Brown of the Philadelphia Phillies are named Player of the Month in the American League and National League respectively. The reigning Triple Crown winner and defending American League MVP batted .379 (44 for 116) with nine doubles, 12 home runs, 33 runs batted in and 23 runs scored in 28 games. Cabrera also becomes the first player in Major League history to enter June batting at least .340 with 15 homers and 60 RBIs.^[37] Also in 28 games, Brown led the National League with 12 home runs and 25 RBI, tying Cabrera for the Major League lead in homers while ranking fourth overall in RBI. In addition, he had 89 total bases which was good for third in the Majors, and was slugging at .688 for the second-highest mark in the National League, while posting a .303 (33 for 109) batting average.^[38]
- Jason Vargas of the Los Angeles Angels and Patrick Corbin of the Arizona Diamondbacks earn Pitcher of the Month honors in their respective leagues. Vargas compiled a perfect 5–0 record with a 2.30 earned run average, one shutout, 31 strikeouts and 14 walks in 43.0 innings pitched over six starts, and qualified among AL starters with a minimum of 27.0 innings pitched, ending first in wins and second in innings pitched and ERA.^[39] Like Vargas, Corbin was a perfect 5–0 in five May starts. His 1.53 ERA was the lowest among qualifying NL pitchers and ranks second in the majors. With an undefeated 9–0 record in 2013, Corbin led the majors in wins while his 2.06 ERA ranked fourth among qualifying starters.^[40]
- Nate Freiman of the Oakland Athletics is voted American League Rookie of the Month for May. The Athletics have now claimed two of the last three rookie honors after Yoenis Céspedes was selected in September 2012. Freiman batted .351 (13 for 37) with three doubles, one home run and nine RBI in 14 games, tallying four multi-hit games during the stretch. He compiled a career-best four-game hitting streak from May 26–29, going 6-for-11 (.545) with seven RBI as Oakland goes 4–0 during the streak. Among AL rookies, the 26-year-old first baseman finished second in RBI, tied for fourth in doubles, for sixth in hits and homers, and was eighth overall in at-bats.^[41]
- In the National League, Atlanta Braves catcher Evan Gattis is named Rookie of the Month for May. This is his second monthly award after being voted NL Rookie of the Month for April; he becomes the first player to win back-to-back NL rookie honors since his Atlanta teammate Jason Heyward earned the distinction in April and May 2010. In 22 games in May, Gattis led all Major League rookies with 16 RBI, while his six home runs were tied for first with San Diego Padres infielder Jedd Gyorko. Gattis also ranked among MLB rookie leaders with 11 extra-base hits (T-2nd), 13 runs scored (T-3rd), 43 total bases (T-3rd) and five doubles (T-5th), while hitting .303 (20-for-63) with a .683 slugging percentage and a .362 on-base percentage.^[42]
June 8 – Andy Pettitte holds the Seattle Mariners to three hits over 7+1⁄3 innings, to earn his 250th career victory in leading the New York Yankees to a 3–1 victory at Safeco Field. As usual, the Yankees count on their veteran closer Mariano Rivera, who comes in to notch his 630th career save and 36th in 38 chances against Seattle. According to Elias Sports Bureau , Pettitte becomes the 47th pitcher in major league history to reach the 250-win milestone and the fifth to do it in a Yankees uniform, joining Red Ruffing (1942), Roger Clemens (2000), Randy Johnson (2000) and Mike Mussina (2007).^[43]
June 9 – Ryan Dempster leads the Boston Red Sox to victory over the Los Angeles Angels, 10–5, at Fenway Park. Along the way, Dempster picks up career strikeout No. 2,000, becoming the 69th pitcher in major league history to reach that mark and just the second born in Canada.^[44]
June 10 – Brandon Phillips belts a grand slam and matches his career high with six runs batted in, when the Cincinnati Reds defeat the Chicago Cubs, 6–2, at Wrigley Field. His six RBI give him 615 for his career, surpassing the 612 runs driven in by Joe Morgan for the most as a Cincinnati second baseman.^[45]
June 12:
- Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players Association jointly announce that the 2014 regular season will open in Sydney, Australia with a two-game series between the Arizona Diamondbacks and Los Angeles Dodgers on March 22 and 23 at the Sydney Cricket Ground.^[46]
- Officials of Nippon Professional Baseball admit that they had introduced new, livelier balls for the current season, after previously denying that a marked increase in home runs from last season was due to changes in the ball.^[47]
June 15 – Henry Blanco debuts with the Seattle Mariners in grand fashion, batting the first pitch he sees from A. J. Griffin, for a grand slam that account for all of Seattle's runs in a 4–0 victory over the Oakland Athletics at The Coliseum. The blast breaks a scoreless tie in the sixth inning and was more than enough to help Félix Hernández improve to 8–4 after dealing his fourth scoreless outing of the season. The 41-year-old Blanco, in his 16th Major League season with 11 teams, is best known as a defensive specialist catcher, with a career 40.7 percent caught-stealing rate. A .226 hitter in 936 games, he also becomes the oldest Mariner to ever hit a grand slam.^[48]
June 22 – Francisco Rodríguez of the Milwaukee Brewers hurls a scoreless ninth inning against the Atlanta Braves to earn his sixth straight save of the season and the 300th of his career. Rodríguez becomes the 25th closer in major league history to reach the 300-save milestone, which ties him with Jason Isringhausen and Bruce Sutter for 23rd on the all-time list.^[49]
June 24 – James Loney, Wil Myers and Sam Fuld of the Tampa Bay Rays bat three consecutive home runs off pitcher Esmil Rogers, helping Jeremy Hellickson beat the Toronto Blue Jays, 4–1, to end Toronto's 11-game winning streak. It is the first time the Rays have gone back-to-back-to-back at Tropicana Field. The only other time Tampa Bay hit three consecutive homers was on June 9, 2008, when Evan Longoria, Willy Aybar and Dioner Navarro went deep against the host Anaheim Angels.^[50]
June 28 – Gerrit Cole paces the Pittsburgh Pirates to a 9–3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers at PNC Park, to become the first Pittsburgh pitcher to win his first four starts since Nick Maddox in 1907.^[51]

- At Great American Ball Park, Homer Bailey of the Cincinnati Reds no-hits the San Francisco Giants 3–0. A seventh-inning walk to Gregor Blanco, who is erased by a heads-up defensive play by Joey Votto as he tried going from first to third, is the only baserunner yielded by Bailey, who had also pitched the Major League's last no-hitter, against the Pittsburgh Pirates on September 28, 2012. Bailey joins Johnny Vander Meer and Jim Maloney as Reds pitchers with multiple no-hitters and joins Addie Joss, Vander Meer, Allie Reynolds, Warren Spahn and Nolan Ryan (twice) as pitchers who have accounted for consecutive MLB no-hitters (Vander Meer's were in consecutive starts in 1938). It is also the second consecutive year a defending World Series champion has been no-hit; the 2011 World Champion St. Louis Cardinals were victims of New York Met Johan Santana's no-hitter on June 1, 2012.^[54] Notably, this game was an MLB Network Showcase game, with Reds legend Sean Casey in the booth for MLB Network.^{[ citation needed ]}

Only three starting pitchers in the Live Ball Era have had a better undefeated start to a season: Johnny Allen (15–0, 1937), Dave McNally (15–0, 1960), and Roger Clemens (14–0, 1986).^[59]
July 9 – David Ortiz goes 4-for-5 with a home run, two doubles and a stolen base in the Boston Red Sox' 11–8 victory over the Seattle Mariners at Safeco Field. Ortiz now has 1,688 hits as a designated hitter, tying the record set by Harold Baines.^[60]

Giant right fielder Hunter Pence preserves the no-hitter by making a diving catch of Alexi Amarista's sinking line drive to end the eighth inning. Lincecum, the losing pitcher in Homer Bailey's no-hitter eleven days earlier, becomes the first no-hit pitcher who is also on the losing end of a no-hitter during the same season since Juan Marichal in 1963. The 13 strikeouts are the second-most by a Giant in pitching a no-hitter, after the 14 in Matt Cain's perfect game in 2012.^[63]
- At Comerica Park, the Texas Rangers defeat the Detroit Tigers 7–1 and hand Max Scherzer his first loss of the season in 15 decisions.

July 22 – Ryan Braun of the Milwaukee Brewers is suspended for the remainder of the regular season–65 games—for his connection to Biogenesis of America, a clinic accused of distributing performance-enhancing drugs. The 65-game ban is 15 games more than the ban that Braun, the 2011 National League Most Valuable Player, avoided in 2012; in that case, an arbitrator overturned his positive test for elevated testosterone because the urine sample had been improperly handled.^[69]
July 28 – David Ortiz goes 4 for 4, including a three-run home run, to help the Boston Red Sox beat the host Baltimore Orioles, 6–0.

August

August 2 – Jarred Cosart of the Houston Astros holds the Minnesota Twins to one run and five hits over seven innings, but he did not factor into the decision in Astros' 4–3 loss in 13 innings.

He notched 43 strikeouts for the month and issued just two walks, tying for first in wins while holding opposing hitters to a .161 batting average. The NL Rookie of the Month award is presented to José Fernández of the Miami Marlins, who posted a 3–1 record and a 2.06 ERA through five starts. The highest point of his stellar month was his July 28 outing against the Pittsburgh Pirates and his fellow prospect Gerrit Cole, by surrendering two runs on five hits in eight innings and striking out 13 batters without any walks. Fernández joins Gary Nolan (15 strikeouts, 1967), Dwight Gooden (two 16-strikeout games, 1984) and Kerry Wood (20 strikeouts, 1998) as the only pitchers younger than 21 to strike out 13 batters or more without a walk in a single game.

August 8 – Max Scherzer becomes the first Detroit Tigers pitcher ever to go 17–1 in his first 18 decisions while the Tigers complete their first four-game sweep of the Cleveland Indians in 25 years. No major league pitcher has been 17–1 through 18 starts since New York Yankees' Roger Clemens in 2001. Just two other big league pitchers, Pittsburgh Pirates' Roy Face in 1959 and Brooklyn Dodgers' Don Newcombe in 1955, have done it since New York Giants' Rube Marquard's historic 19–0 start in 1912.^[77]
August 9 – Oakland Athletics outfielder Josh Reddick puts an end to his 0-for-20 slump in a powerful way, hitting three home runs in a 13–6 victory against the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre.^[78]
August 10 – Josh Reddick of the Oakland Athletics belts two home runs in a loss to the Toronto Blue Jays, to become the first big leaguer since 2004 and just the 23rd ever to hit five home runs over two consecutive games with multiple homers in each contest, a feat which has been accomplished only 25 times since the 1916 season.^[78]
August 13 – Brad Miller hits two home runs as the Seattle Mariners top the Tampa Bay Rays, 5–4, at Tropicana Field.

Nevertheless, he becomes the first victim of a disappointing season for the Phillies, in which injuries and widespread underperformance lead the team to a 53–67 record at the time of his dismissal. Previously, Manuel spent three years as manager with the Cleveland Indians, leading them to the AL Central title in 2001, compiling a 220–190 record as Indians manager.^[82]^[83]
August 17 – Miguel Tejada is suspended for 105 games after testing positive for an amphetamine which was in violation of Major League Baseball's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.

He posted a .356 batting average with a .430 on-base percentage for the month and a .733 slugging percentage, which included 11 home runs, five doubles and 31 RBI. Cabrera's month was highlighted by a four-game stretch of multiple-hit games from August 9–12, including a .538 average while hitting a double, three homers, five RBI and four runs in three games against the New York Yankees.^[88] Prado, acquired by Arizona prior the season, led the National League with 30 RBI and 43 hits, while his .375 average was the fourth-best mark in the league and his 65 total bases were the second-highest number in the circuit.

Nova finished the month with a perfect 4–0 record and a 2.08 ERA, including one complete-game three-hit shutout. He also collected 12 walks and 31 strikeouts in 43+1⁄3 innings over six starts to claim his first career monthly award.^[90] Greinke, who previously won an AL Pitcher of the Month Award in April 2009 as a member the Kansas City Royals, went 5–0 with 30 strikeouts and eight walks over 36+2⁄3 innings of work, posting a 1.23 ERA in the process. For the second consecutive month, a Dodgers pitcher takes home NL Pitcher of the Month honors. Clayton Kershaw claimed the Award for July.^[91]
- Martín Pérez of the Texas Rangers is voted American League Rookie of the Month for August. The 22-year left-handed pitcher won all five of his starts in the month, while collecting a 3.06 ERA with 26 strikeouts and 11 walks in 35+1⁄3 innings pitched, to become the only Texas rookie ever to win five consecutive starts and the first pitcher overall to do so since Ryan Dempster won five straight from August 20–September 12 of 2012. Pérez also led AL rookies in wins, ending second in innings and fourth in strikeouts.^[92] José Fernández of the Miami Marlins is named Rookie of the Month in the National League, to become the first rookie pitcher to receive the Award in back-to-back months since Josh Johnson in May and June 2006. Fernández went 3–1 in six starts, allowing six earned runs in 39 innings for a 1.15 ERA – the second lowest among qualifying rookie pitchers (Alex Wood, 0.90) and the third lowest in the league overall (Clayton Kershaw, 1.01) in August. Fernández also held opposing hitters to a paltry .158 batting average, the lowest mark among qualifying Major League pitchers. He also struck out 49 batters in 39 innings, allowing 11 walks, while breaking his own franchise rookie record with 14 strikeouts against the Cleveland Indians on August 2. He previously set the franchise mark with 13 strikeouts in his final July start against the Pittsburgh Pirates.^[93]
September 6 – In defeating his former team, the Arizona Diamondbacks, 3–0 at AT&T Park, Yusmeiro Petit of the San Francisco Giants has a bid for a perfect game broken up with two out in the ninth and a two-strike count. After retiring the first 26 batters, Petit, who strikes out seven, gets to a 2–2 count on Eric Chavez and narrowly misses throwing the next pitch for the third strike. One pitch later, Chavez lines a ball to right field that falls in for a hit despite Hunter Pence's attempt to make a diving catch (ironically, Pence, who scores all three Giant runs including an eight-inning home run, had made a diving catch to preserve Tim Lincecum's no-hitter on July 13). The hit is the only baserunner Petit allows; he retires the next batter, A. J. Pollock, for the final out. With teammate Matt Cain having pitched his perfect game a year earlier, the Giants would have joined the New York Yankees as the only teams to record perfect games in back-to-back seasons, David Wells having pitched his in 1998 and David Cone pitching his in 1999. It is also the first time that two perfect game bids were broken up with two out in the ninth in the same season, Yu Darvish of the Texas Rangers having his bid broken up on April 2.^[94]
September 8 – The International Olympic Committee votes to reinstate wrestling as an Olympic Sport for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. The vote bypasses a joint bid by baseball and softball.

Since then, the Dodgers posted a Major League-best 58–23 and extended their margin over second-place Arizona by 10+1⁄2 games. This will be the first appearance for the Dodgers in the postseason since 2009, when they lost the National League Championship Series to the Philadelphia Phillies, four games to one. They have not been to the World Series since winning it all in 1988.^[98]
- Boston Red Sox closer Koji Uehara ends his streak of 37 consecutive batters retired, as well as his 30+1⁄3-inning scoreless streak, when he allows a Danny Valencia leadoff triple and Matt Wieters to hit a sacrifice fly to score pinch runner Alexi Casilla, in the Baltimore Orioles' victory over the Red Sox, 3–2, at Fenway Park. In the top of the sixth, Chris Davis launches his 51st home run of the season off Boston starter Ryan Dempster, a towering shot to center field that ties the game at 2. 51 sets an Orioles season record, surpassing Brady Anderson, who clubbed 50 homers in 1996.^[99]
September 20:
- The Boston Red Sox clinch the American League East Division title, getting seven strong innings from Jon Lester in his 100th career victory to beat the Toronto Blue Jays, 6–3, at Fenway Park. It is a stunning turnaround that comes just one year after the Red Sox complete a 13-month epic collapse that started in September 2011, when they blew a nine-game lead in the wild card and miss the playoffs with a loss on the final day of the season.^[100]
- Alex Rodriguez hits a tie-breaking grand slam in the seventh inning off San Francisco Giants pitcher George Kontos, leading the New York Yankees to a 5–1 victory at Yankee Stadium.

September 21 – A. J. Burnett of the Pittsburgh Pirates strikes out a season-high 12 in a 4–2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds, becoming the first right-handed pitcher in the 126-year history of the franchise to top 200 strikeouts in a season, when he fans Joey Votto in the sixth inning. The previous franchise record for a righty had been set by Mark Baldwin, who had 197 strikeouts in the 1891 season. In the modern era, Kris Benson recorded 184 in 2000, Bob Friend 183 in 1960, and Bert Blyleven 182 in 1978. Burnett also became the first Pittsburgh pitcher to post 200 whiffs since left-handed Óliver Pérez did it in 2004.^[102]

- Mariano Rivera is honored by the New York Yankees before a game against the San Francisco Giants at Yankee Stadium. The 50-minute ceremony includes visits from former Yankees teammates, the retiring of Rivera's uniform number 42, and the heavy metal rock band Metallica performing the song Enter Sandman , used by Rivera as his entrance song. The tribute to Rivera is followed by Andy Pettitte taking a no-hitter into the sixth inning of his final career home game, but the way the game ends might end the Yankees' playoff hopes, as they lose to the Giants 2–1.^[105]
- The Miami Marlins embrace the role of spoiler, helping the Atlanta Braves win the National League East Division title and pushing the St. Louis Cardinals into the postseason playoffs with a 4–2 victory over the Washington Nationals.^[106] It is the first title for Atlanta since 2005. Meanwhile, the Kansas City Royals' walk-off 4–0 win over the Texas Rangers in 10 innings not only gives the Royals additional hope in the American League wild card race, it also locks up the Oakland Athletics as the winners of the American League West Division for the second time in as many years.^[107]
September 23:
- The Pittsburgh Pirates clinch their first playoff berth since 1992 when they beat the Chicago Cubs, 2–1, while the Washington Nationals are eliminated by the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cincinnati Reds also clinch at least a wild card berth when they defeat the New York Mets 3–2 in 10 innings. The Pirates and Reds, both with a 90–67 record, now trail St. Louis by two games in the National League Central division with five games to go. As a result, the three clubs qualify for the playoffs and will at least be wild card game participants.^[108]
- Alex Ríos of the Texas Rangers hits for the cycle in four at-bats in a 12–0 victory over the Houston Astros at Rangers Ballpark. Rios etches his name in the Texas record books by completing his first career cycle and becomes just the seventh player in franchise history to accomplish the feat. It's also the fourth cycle recorded in club history on four at-bats.^[109]
September 24 – Against the Washington Nationals at Busch Stadium, rookie Michael Wacha of the St. Louis Cardinals has a no-hitter broken up with two out in the ninth. Ryan Zimmerman chops a ground ball that bounces over Wacha's glove to shortstop Pete Kozma, who bare-hands it but throws wide to first, pulling Matt Adams off the base. Trevor Rosenthal relieves Wacha after the hit and retires Jayson Werth on a ground ball for the final out in a 2–0 Cardinal victory. The last two Cardinal no-hitters have been pitched by rookies: Bud Smith in 2001 and José Jiménez in 1999. The no-hitter would have been the first in St. Louis since the second of Cardinal Bob Forsch's two no-hitters at Busch Memorial Stadium almost a full 30 years earlier, on September 26, 1983. With Yu Darvish and Yusmeiro Petit having perfect game bids broken up on April 2 and September 6 respectively, this is the first season in which three no-hit bids were broken up with two out in the ninth since 1990. It is also the first month since September 1988 in which two no-hitters were broken up with two out in the ninth, Toronto Blue Jay Dave Stieb having the bids broken up in consecutive starts, on the 24th and 30th.^[110]^[111]
September 25:
- The Detroit Tigers clinch their third consecutive American League Central Division with a 1–0 victory over the host Minnesota Twins. Max Scherzer scatters two hits and strikes out 10 batters over seven scoreless innings to improve his major league-best record to 21–3, while Torii Hunter drives in the winning run with a single in the first inning.^[112] With this victory, Jim Leyland earns his 700th win as manager of the Tigers, becoming the third manager in Detroit history to reach at least 700 wins, joining Hall of Famers Sparky Anderson and Hugh Jennings.^[113]
- The New York Yankees fail to claim one of the ten playoff berths when they are mathematically eliminated before the final of an 8–3 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays at Yankee Stadium. The Yankees are trailing 7–3 in the eighth inning when they drop out of playoff contention as the Cleveland Indians complete a 7–2 victory against the Chicago White Sox. Despite having the highest opening-day payroll at $230 million, the Yankees are hindered by age, an assortment of injuries and subpar performances, failing to make the postseason for the first time since 2008 and for only the second time in 19 years.^[114]
- Will Middlebrooks powers the attack with seven RBI and two home runs, including a grand slam, as the Boston Red Sox crush the Colorado Rockies, 15–5, in the final game of Colorado Rockies' first baseman Todd Helton at Coors Field. The seven RBI are a career high for Middlebrooks, while the slam is his second this season and third of his career. Helton, who announced his retirement two weeks before, is the longest-tenured and arguably greatest player in Colorado history. He goes 2 for 3, including one homer, a double and three RBI. At the time of his retirement, he leads the Rockies in several statistical categories after playing for them during 17 seasons.^[115]
September 27:
- The government of Cuba announces that it is lifting many of the restrictions placed on the ability of its athletes, including its baseball players, to sign contracts with teams abroad. Cuban baseball players will be allowed to sign with clubs in foreign countries as long as they also fulfill commitments to play domestically. While this represents a significant change in policy, it is unlikely to immediately impact player availability to Major League Baseball.^[116]
- The hapless Houston Astros set a franchise record reaching 109 losses this season. After their 3–2 loss to the New York Yankees, they set another franchise record for futility, losing their 13th consecutive game. The Astros have not won a game since a 9–7 victory over the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim on September 13. Two of these losses were in extra innings, and one came in a rain-shortened seven-inning game.^[117]
September 28:
- The Pittsburgh Pirates belt six home runs to beat the Cincinnati Reds, 8–3 at Great American Ball Park, and clinch home-field advantage in the wild-card playoff game. Neil Walker hits two of the Pirates homers, while Andrew McCutchen, Pedro Alvarez, Marlon Byrd and prospect Andrew Lambo each hit one. It is the first time the Pirates have six homers in a game since August 22, 2007, at Coors Field. Pittsburgh will host the Reds in the Pirates' first playoff appearance in 21 years. Pittsburgh posted a 50–31 record at PNC Park, the third-best home record in the National League, and want to make that long-awaited playoff return on their home turf.^[118]
- The St. Louis Cardinals clinch their first National League Central Division title in four seasons with a 7–0 victory over the visiting Chicago Cubs. With this victory, the Cardinals are assured of home-field advantage when the NL Division Series starts.^[119]
- Andy Pettitte closes out his 18-season career with a one more vintage performance, pitching his first complete game in more than seven years to lead the New York Yankees to a 2–1 win over the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park. The left-handed Pettitte, 41, allows one earned run on five hits and two walks while striking out five, to outduel Astros rookie starter Paul Clemens, who was making only his fifth start and carries a shutout into the sixth inning before a cut on his right hand becomes an issue. A three-time All-Star and a member of five Yankees World Champion teams, Pettitte posted a 256–153 career record and a 3.86 ERA in 3,316 innings of work, ending his career without a losing season.^[120]
September 29:
- On the final day of the regular season, Henderson Álvarez of the Miami Marlins no-hits the Detroit Tigers over nine innings at Marlins Park. The no-hitter does not become official until the Marlins walk off with a 1–0 victory in the bottom of the ninth inning as Giancarlo Stanton scores from third on a wild pitch with Álvarez in the on-deck circle. The no-hitter is the third to be pitched on the final day of a regular season, joining the combined no-hitter by Vida Blue, Glenn Abbott, Paul Lindblad and Rollie Fingers in 1975 and Mike Witt's perfect game in 1984. Álvarez joined Al Leiter (1996), Kevin Brown (1997), A. J. Burnett (2001) and Aníbal Sánchez (2006) in the franchise's no-hitter club.^[121]^[122]
- The Cleveland Indians claim the first American League wild card spot by beating the Minnesota Twins, 5–1. Cleveland wins 10 straight and 15 of its final 17 games to reach the postseason for the first time since 2007. The Tampa Bay Rays and Texas Rangers finish tied for the second American League wild card spot, and they will square off in a tiebreaker at the Ballpark in Arlington, each club vying to be the final piece of the playoff puzzle. Previously, Tampa Bay beats the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim 6–2 for their seventh win in a row, while Texas defeats the Toronto Blue Jays 7–6.^[123]
September 30:
- Josh Donaldson of the Oakland Athletics and Hunter Pence of the San Francisco Giants are named Player of the Month in the American League and National League respectively. The third baseman earns his first such honor after batting .337 with eight doubles, five home runs and 16 RBI in 25 games to help the Athletics win the AL West Division title. Donaldson had 11 multi-hit efforts, while his 17 extra-base hits ranked him seventh in the AL, ending the season with 56 multi-hit games, the third-most in Oakland history behind Mark Kotsay (57 in 2004) and Miguel Tejada (57 in 2002).^[124] In 27 games, Pence batted .293 with a .393 on-base percentage and an MLB-leading .667 slugging percentage, also leading MLB with 32 RBI while tying for the lead with 11 home runs. Pence, who started all 162 games this season, became the first Giants player to do so since Alvin Dark in 1954, when the season was 154 games long. The right fielder finished the season in his NL-leading 171st consecutive game overall, hitting a walk-off single to give San Francisco a 7–6 victory against the San Diego Padres at AT&T Park. After that, Pence was rewarded with a five-year, $90 million contract by the Giants.^[125]
- Ubaldo Jiménez of the Cleveland Indians and Kris Medlen of the Atlanta Braves earn Pitcher of the Month honors in their respective leagues. Jiménez, who wins his third distinction, posted a perfect 4–0 mark with a 1.09 ERA in six starts, striking out 51 and walking only seven in 41+1⁄3 innings of work. He finished first among AL hurlers in innings and strikeouts, second in ERA and ranks fourth in the league with 11.1 strikeouts per nine innings, while opposing batters hit only .230 against him. On the final day of the regular season, the Dominican pitcher tossed 6+2⁄3 shutout innings with a season-best 13 strikeouts against the Minnesota Twins to ensure the Indians a spot in the AL Wild Card Game.^[126] Medlen, who previously claimed the honor in August and September 2012, went 4–0 in five starts to tie for the NL lead in wins and posted a league-best 1.00 ERA over 36 innings. He also tied for first with the Los Angeles Dodgers' Zack Greinke with a 0.92 WHIP and ranked sixth limiting opponents to a .197 batting average, while striking out 33 against eight walks. Medlen finished the season with a 3.11 ERA and set career highs in innings (197), wins (15) and strikeouts (157), while helping the Braves finish off their first NL East title since 2005 and claim home-field advantage in the NL Division Series against the Dodgers.^[127]
- Wil Myers of the Tampa Bay Rays is voted American League Rookie of the Month. In September, Myers hit a slash line (BA/OBP/SLG) of .317/.360/.558, including 13 doubles and four home runs in 27 games to help the Rays advance to the AL Wild Card tiebreaker against the Texas Rangers. The 22-year-old outfielder finished first among AL rookies in hits (33), runs (18), doubles, extra-base hits (17) and total bases (58), while tying for first in homers (13). He also ranked second in RBI (53), average (.293), OBP (.354) and SLG (.478). He put together an eight-game hitting streak from September 11–18, during which he batted .387 with five doubles, two homers and seven RBI, and notched his second career multi-homer game.^[128] The National League Rookie of the Month award is presented to Gerrit Cole, whose strong finish helps the Pittsburgh Pirates into their first playoff berth since the 1992 season. The 23-year-old pitcher goes 4–0 in five September starts to tie for the league lead in wins, and also leads qualifying rookie pitchers with a 1.69 ERA, 39 strikeouts and 32 innings, while issuing only 10 walks and finishing second with a .212 opponents' batting average. Cole finishes his rookie season with a 10–7 record, 100 strikeouts, and a 3.22 ERA in 117+1⁄3 innings of work.^[129]
- David Price pitches a seven-hit complete game and Evan Longoria contributes with three hits and two RBI, including one home run and a double, leading the Tampa Bay Rays to a 5–2 win over the Texas Rangers, in the American League tiebreaker game at Rangers Ballpark. With the victory, Tampa Bay secures the second wild card spot and will visit the Cleveland Indians in order to meet the Boston Red Sox in the American League Division Series.^[130]

Delmon Young hits his ninth postseason home run and Desmond Jennings adds a two-run RBI double, while three relievers combine for 2+1⁄3 innings to complete the second postseason shutout in Tampa Bay franchise history. The Rays' other shutout was in Game 1 of the 2011 American League Division Series against the Texas Rangers.^[132]

The Cardinals, who fell one win shy a year ago, advance to the World Series for the second time in three years and the fourth time in the past decade. Michael Wacha (22), in his 12th big league start, beats Kershaw for the second time this series, allowing just two hits in seven scoreless innings and winning Most Valuable Player honors.

- Once posted, a player can negotiate with any MLB team willing to pay the fee during a 30-day window. Previously, a player could only negotiate with the team that submitted the highest posting fee. As in the previous scheme, the fee is paid only if an MLB team ultimately signs the player.
December 22 – Alex Cabrera of the Tiburones de La Guaira blasted a historic home run in the Venezuelan League, breaking the league's 33-year-old record for the most home runs in a season set by Leones del Caracas' catcher Bo Díaz.
