June 6, 1876, Hartford, CT - St. Louis pitcher Pud Galvin may not be inclined to look back upon this game as a great success. He gave up 13 hits, including two crucial ones in the bottom of the ninth that led to a 5-4 come-from-behind victory for the Dark Blues. However, he did something that no pitcher since June 21 of 1875 has been able to do: he held star hitter Cap Anson hitless at 0 for 5.
This stops Anson's incredible hitting streak at 42 games, and leaves the current longest active streak at 20 games, by Tom Barlow of the Chicago club.
