The second MLB game I ever attended was on "Beat Mudcat Day" at Griffith Stadium. Grant won that one, but his mastery over the Senators was over by August 9, 1967: He came in in relief with the Twins up 7-2 and didn't retire the three batters he faced. They all scored. Frank Howard's three-run homer after Grant left erased what had been a 7-0 Twins lead. The Nats won in 20 innings.
