Reliever Tyler Danish was called upon by Cora to finish the inning. It was the Astros' first five-homer inning in team history, according to ESPN Stats & Information research, and it was the first time Boston had allowed five in the same frame. Danish was one of seven pitchers the Red Sox used in the loss in which Houston hit six home runs total.
“It was one of the most dramatic displays of hitting ever seen at Shibe Park, surpassing in some respects the sensational feats of the old Yankees against the Athletics,” Baumgartner said. With Blue Jays right-hander Chase Anderson on the mound, Brett Gardner, DJ LeMahieu and Luke Voit went back-to-back-to-back. Anderson recovered with a strikeout on Aaron Hicks, before giving up two more homers, to Giancarlo Stanton and Gleyber Torres, back-to-back. Two of the five power outbursts included an inside the park home run.
Nationals homer five times in third inning vs. Brewers
This lineup is terrifying, and they’re getting hot at the right time with the postseason right around the corner. Only nine players in baseball history have hit more than one home run after the 9th inning and they are listed up above, in the Most Home Runs in the Extra Innings research set. Visit the box score of each record setting game to see if those extra inning home runs resulted in a winning effort, or losing effort.
Houston broke a franchise record and tied a Major League mark in Tuesday’s 13-4 win over Boston, tagging Red Sox starter Nathan Eovaldi for five homers in the second inning to give the club a hefty 9-1 lead. The Astros finished the night with 15 hits and were responsible for six of the game’s eight home runs. The five home runs by one pitcher in one inning tied a major league record and was the third time it’s happened in history, with all occurrences somehow coming in the last five years.

And five of the home runs on Thursday came in one inning, tying an MLB record. Trailing, 3-2, going into the bottom of the eighth, catcher Andy Seminick hits two of his three home runs for the night, while left fielder Del Ennis, third baseman Willie (Puddin’ Head) Jones and pitcher Schoolboy Rowe hit one each. For those wondering, Eovaldi's outing is the 123rd in MLB history in which a pitcher yielded five or more home runs overall. Only nine games have seen a pitcher surrendered six home runs, with the most recent of those being Blazek's aforementioned start. Eovaldi is the first Boston pitcher to give up at least five home runs since David Price in 2018.
The next long ball came courtesy of Kyle Tucker, who made right fielder Jackie Bradley Jr. scale the wall as the ball sailed over the Astros’ bullpen for a two-run homer. In his Fenway Park debut, New England native Jeremy Peña then went back to back for his seventh Major League homer and Houston’s third of the inning. But Eovaldi lost Tuesday night’s game on those long balls, as the hard contact he’d been allowing all season caught up to him on one of the warmer nights at Fenway Park early this season. Eovaldi has struggled to keep the ball in the ballpark so far this season. He’s already given up nine home runs in just seven games, after having allowed only 15 in 32 games in 2021. Eovaldi finished the day having allowed nine runs on eight hits in 1.2 innings.

In his Fenway Park start against the Houston Astros, Eovaldi lasted just 1⅔ innings, allowing eight hits and six earned runs while striking out none. Twelve seasons after five-home inning number two, it happened again – and for the third straight time, the Reds were the victims – and this time they were are home. The Reds trailed the San Francisco Giants 2-0 after 8 innings with both starters still in the game. A low-scoring game was expected, Marichal game into the contest with a 12-7 record for the third-place Giants, while Jay was 18-7 for the first-place Reds. Ten seasons passed before the next five-homer inning – and the victims were again the Reds. It started out as a close game, with the Reds actually leading 3-2 after seven innings behind a strong performance by starting pitcher Ken Raffensberger .
Browning's gem against the Dodgers was one of just 23 perfect games in major league history and the only one for the Reds, baseball's oldest professional franchise.

Of the eight teams that have gone back-to-back-to-back-to-back, the Nationals are the first club to do it with the one-through-four hitters.
The eight round-trippers in one game tied the franchise record set by the 1978 Montreal Expos. After Nats pitcher Max Scherzer drew a walk to start the frame, leadoff man Brian Goodwin homered to right field. After that, Bryce Harper drilled one over the wall in left-center, and then cleanup hitter Ryan Zimmerman punctuated the string with a homer of his own to left-center. After a Daniel Murphy flyout that drew mock boos from the Camp Day crowd at Nats Park, Anthony Rendon launched one over the wall in left-center for Washington's fifth home run of the inning. The Houston Astros exploded on Tuesday with five home runs in the second inning off Boston Red Sox starter Nathan Eovaldi. The Astros became the eighth team in major-league history to homer five times in one inning, and the third to do so against one pitcher.
Baseball Almanac is pleased to present a record book full of baseball milestones for home runs in an inning — including most most home runs in any given inning and most home runs in any extra inning. Eovaldi is among a number of Red Sox veterans struggling in the early going. Boston, which rallied to defeat the Astros 6-3 on Monday in the series opener, is now 14-22, a half-game out of last place in the AL East.
The New York Yankees are destroying the baseball in their three-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays. The Yankees hit six home runs in a 20-6 victory on Tuesday, seven home runs in a 13-2 win on Wednesday, and they currently have six home runs on Thursday night. That’s 19 home runs over the three-game series, and that’s an MLB record. The Yankees are also the first team to hit at least six homers in three straight games.
“The guys didn't like the taste of losing last night, and so they came out ready to play today. I mean, they come out ready every day, but they were especially ready today because they knew we had a tough guy on the mound over there."
