• Major League Baseball
  • Detroit Tigers right fielder Magglio Ordóñez hits two home runs in the same inning, part of an eight-run second inning that propelled the Tigers to an 11–6 victory over the Oakland Athletics. He led off the second inning with a solo home run, then hit a three-run home run on his second at-bat of the inning. He is the second Tiger to accomplish the feat—the first was hall-of-famer Al Kaline, who did it in 1955 against the Athletics (who represented Kansas City at the time). For the game, Ordóñez went 2-for-3 with 2 walks.
