Houston manager pinch-hit for pitcher Don Wilson after eight no-hit innings on this date in 1974. The Astros trailed Cincinnati 2-1 and Wilson had pinch-hit for Padres pitcher Clay Kirby in the same spot four years earlier. Ironically, Kirby was in the Reds’ dugout on this night, and he predicted Gomez’ actions.
