This game was the first time Kent Mercker had ever pitched passed the seventh inning during his career!
Did you know Kent Mercker became the second pitcher to ever pitch in a combined no-hitter and a nine inning no-hitter?
During the ninth inning Chan Ho Park entered the game, bowed to the umpire, and became the first Korean born Major League baseball player!
