Four Hits

The Day by Day Database goes back to 1957, and I just checked for pitchers collecting four hits or better in a game since then. Mel Stottlemyre has the most hits as a pitcher in a game in that time, going five for five on 9/26/1964. Including Mel, Owings is the 27th pitcher to collect four hits in a game. The last was Bobby Livingston a month ago on 7/16. Those other 26 did not pick up three extra base hits in the same game although six did homer.

There's some good names in the list as well. Don Newcombe, Chris Short, Bob Gibson, Jim Bunning, Early Wynn, Lew Burdette and Harvey Haddix all accomplished the feat.
