Spring training

Regular season
edit- June 3, 1995 – Pedro Martínez pitched 9 perfect innings against the San Diego Padres before giving up a hit in the 10th to notorious Expo-killer Bip Roberts over the head of Tony Tarasco in right field. He became the second pitcher in history, after Harvey Haddix, to have a perfect game broken up in extra innings.
- June 11, 1995 – Rondell White had a career day in Candlestick Park against the San Francisco Giants. White picks up 6 hits and hits for the cycle. A crowd of 22,392 was on hand.
