John Smoltz joins Phil Niekro and Warren Spahn as the only pitchers to spend at least 20 seasons with one franchise before playing a game for another. All three had their two decades of services with the Braves.

Texas shortstop Omar Vizquel singled in the first inning against Arizona for his 2,678th career hit, the most ever by a native of Venezuela.

Ichiro Suzuki is now tied with Kenny Lofton for 11th all-time in leadoff homers with 29.
