Like Cal Ripken, Ryne Sandberg also set a new errorless streak record at his position. His 123-game streak bested Joe Morgan's run which spanned two seasons.
Sandberg's errant throw in the fourth inning, coming off of Astro Eric Anthony's bat, didn't harm the Cubs as they coasted to a 7-0 shutout in the Astrodome. They did it mainly on the strength of Mike Harkey's eight innings and a Mitch Williams finish.
Detroit Tiger Placido Polanco broke Sandberg's record in 2007, setting a new standard of 141 errorless games by a second baseman.
UPDATE: Forgot the boxscore link.
