  • Ben Sheets. - Milwaukee Brewers. 06-13-2004 http://www.baseball-almanac.com/feats/feats17.shtml Brandon Backe was the 24th : )
  • According to my sources, the 34th pitcher to do this in Major League Baseball was Pedro Martinez against Seattle in 2002, but this was in the AL and has nothing to do with the Astros. However the 25th occasion this happened in the NL was Brandon Backe pitching for the Astros against the Brewers in 2004, so this might be what you mean, although he was actually the 24th NL pitcher to do it, not the 25th, because 2 of the previous instances in the NL were both done by the same man, Sandy Koufax.
