Jimenez remained hot with four home runs in the last five games. The White Sox had struggled to get the bats going in a doubleheader sweep on Saturday. The Cardinals are back in action for the first time in 17 days after a team-wide COVID-19 outbreak. Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol thought it was pretty cool that he got to celebrate his 36th birthday on a night when St. Louis earned a spot in the MLB record books. In arguably the craziest way to achieve the feat, Delahanty hit two of his four home runs inside the park, according to Baseball Almanac.
But the flow stopped, and no team blasted four straight again until the turn of the century.
Who was the first home run leader for the Milwaukee Braves?
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.
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.
Arenado wins it with 2nd homer of the 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.
The Thundering Herd compiled a 12-of-26 (46.2%) clip while making two three-pointers out of 10 attempted shots. Marshall blocked four shots and performed solidly on the defensive side. Marshall (9-1) responded with a 9-0 run heading into the under-12 media timeout.
Yanks ride 4 HRs, 6-run inning to 6th straight W
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.
Schmidt didn't even get the fun started until the fifth inning, when he clubbed a two-run homer before blasting a solo shot in the seventh. He went deep again in the eighth and 10th frames to help the Phils pull out the victory. The D-backs entered the top of the fourth inning at Miller Park trailing 2-0. After a Justin Upton flyout, Adam LaRoche went yard off Dave Bush to bring the D-backs within one run.
White Sox join MLB history by hitting four consecutive home runs
It was a different story in the fifth inning on Sunday against Cardinals right-hander Roel Ramirez, who made his first major league start. Holding a 1-0 lead, the White Sox rattled off the four home runs on two outs. Arenado had the first of four straight Cardinals home runs in the first inning -- followed by rookies Nolan Gorman and Juan Yepez and Dylan Carlson’s mammoth, Statcast-projected 407-foot blast. When the Cardinals saw that 5-0 edge evaporate -- and later a 6-5 lead disappear -- Arenado made the 5,000th at-bat of his MLB career one to remember. He led off the ninth inning by drilling a hanging slider 365 feet to seal the 22nd multihomer game of his career. Arenado should sleep quite well after delivering a jaw-dropping two-night stretch rarely ever seen by a player in Major League Baseball history.
He struck out the first batter in the fifth inning, then gave up two singles. A runner was caught stealing, giving him hopes of getting out of his first major league inning, but he followed it with a walk. The attendance for that history-making game at Crosley Field in Cincinnati was just 5,149, about 5,149 more than the White Sox had on hand Sunday. The fans went home happy; despite the homers, the Braves lost, 10-8. Drew hit the second home run for the Dodgers in September 2006, and after leaving as a free agent, he did it again for the Red Sox barely a few games later in April 2007.
Yet as one of their biggest stars prepares to rejoin the roster, there remains a score to settle from the club's first road trip. Yepez, the rookie who spent years in the Minors before getting to MLB and showing off his massive power, challenged Carlson to keep the streak going and extend it to four straight home runs. The first baseman’s hit eventually allowed the Cardinals to push to an early 2-0 lead when Arenado hit a shot to left-field.
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.
