After a pitching change, Rob Tejeda came in and got two strikes on Juan Uribe before allowing a home run, Chicago’s fourth straight home run. The first time it ever happened was in 1961, when the Braves hit four straight against the Reds in the seventh inning. RMU engaged the crowd early in the first four minutes but never regained the lead after a 4-3 advantage two minutes into the game. Marshall dictated the entire game and proved why it won eight in a row entering play following an opening-night loss. Hodges homered off the great Warren Spahn in the second inning, took Normie Roy deep in the third before clubbing a two-run homers off Bob Hall in the sixth and Johnny Antonelli in the eighth. Green had just five homers on the year before breaking out in a monster way with arguably the most impressive offensive day in baseball history.
Major leaguers hit 6,776 homers last year, breaking the previous record by more than 600. Yoan Moncada hit a three-run shot to right, and Yasmani Grandal followed. It was the sixth time of the 10 that a single pitcher gave up all four of the homers. The feat of four consecutive homers did not occur in the major leagues until 1961, when the Milwaukee Braves did it in a game against the Cincinnati Reds.
National League
Seerey had a brief career, lasting in the big leagues for seven seasons. He hit a total of 86 home runs over the course of his playing days. Sunday was a terrible debut for Ramirez even before the string of long balls.
The Nationals became the fourth National League team to hit four straight home runs, doing so off of Michael Blazek. Blazek allowed five home runs total in the inning, tying the Major League record. On the road in Kansas City, the Twins entered the top of the 11th in a 3-3 tie.
Dodgers blast four in a row
Hamilton was feeling it on a beautiful spring night, going deep for two-run homers in the first, third, seventh and eighth frames. His 18 total bases tied Joe Adcock for the second most in a single game. Hamilton is also the only player on this list to have each of his four home runs of the two-run variety. More home runs over all would naturally lead to more streaks of consecutive home runs, which is why the back-to-back-to-back-to-backer isn’t such an extreme rarity anymore.
Adcock had 15 home runs on the season coming into the game and finished the season with 23. Mays was reportedly nauseated because of a snack he ingested the night before, but that didn't stop him from history. Bret Boone and Cameron also went back-to-back in the same inning twice, a feat that still has never been matched.
How does the Cardinals' lineup compare to the rest of the NL Central this season?
Kamdyn Curfman connected an ally-oop to Taevion Kinsey to regain a 10-point lead, 19-9 with eight minutes and change still before the next break on the floor. Cardinals RHP Jordan Hicks threw 18 of 28 pitches over 100 mph while twice reaching 103.4 mph in 1 2/3 scoreless innings of relief. Carson finished the amazing power display by connecting on a 1-0 sinker that hit the facing of the second deck in right field on the first pitch he saw.
The Thundering Herd stretched the lead to four and a half minutes in while not slowing down. RMU shot 6-of-30 (20%) and 1-of-9 11.1%) from behind the three-point line through 20 minutes. Marshall out-rebounded the Colonials while RMU held a 6-4 advantage on the offensive glass. It was a rough start for the RMU “big three.” Cheeks shot 1-of-6 for two points and two rebounds along with a team-high three turnovers. RMU did not score for seven minutes until inside 11 minutes remaining. Michael Green III ended the drought with a three from the right wing to eclipse 1,000 points in his career.
Four straight home runs by one team in a game
Phillies OF Kyle Schwarber was named NL Player of the Month for June after batting .272 with 12 homers and 27 RBIs in 27 games. "I felt like the at-bat quality was there all night. It made for some very difficult innings," manager Aaron Boone said. "We know how well they've played without Judge and Stanton," said Houston's Alex Bregman. "They've had that next-man-up mentality, and they've been winning games." And the showdown started on a positive note, with the Yankees belting four homers to erase any lingering sting from Houston's April 8-10 sweep. He’s 7-for-42 with one home run in the last 10 games, including a 0-for-12 streak in the last five.
Tony Oliva put them ahead with a solo home run off Dan Pfister, but the Twins weren’t done yet. Bob Allison and Jimmie Hall homered off Pfister too, before he was replaced by Vern Handrahan. Handrahan allowed the Twins’ fourth straight home run, to Harmon Killebrew. The Twins are the only team to hit four straight home runs in an extra inning. The D-backs acquired Martinez from the Tigers in mid-July to add pop to their lineup, and the slugger showed off that power in highly impressive fashion against the rival Dodgers.
With two outs in the first, Arenado, Nolan Gorman, Juan Yepez and Dylan Carson homered off Kyle Gibson. It was the first time in major league history a team connected for four homers in a row in the first inning. The White Sox hit four consecutive home runs in the fifth inning against the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday, marking only the 10th time in MLB history a team has reached the feat. It’s the second time the franchise has done so, joining its four in a row completed on Aug. 14, 2008. No performance was more huge than the one delivered by Arenado, who started the home run binge in the first inning and closed it in the ninth. A night earlier, Arenado tripled, homered, doubled and singled in four at-bats for the second cycle of his career.
That was followed by homers from Miguel Montero, Mark Reynolds and Stephen Drew. It was the second time in the 2010 season that Bush had allowed four home runs in a game -- but the first time in a single inning. Gorman followed by driving a 2-1 cutter into the seats in right field.
