In a 13-4 victory, the Texan team tied a major league mark by hitting five four-base hits in one turn at bat and the amateur dressed in a gray overcoat is well placed to testify: he indeed caught two balls sent out of bounds.
The man first grabbed a ball hit by Jeremy Pena, the object could not be controlled initially by another amateur located to his right. Then, he caught Yulieski Gurriel’s cannon shot in one fell swoop, a two-point strike. It must be said that there was plenty of action nearby, as four balls flew over the famous green wall in left field during the evening.
Both clubs have totaled eight homers in the first four innings. Prior to Houston, seven teams had achieved a five-fold in one turn at bat. The most recent feat of its kind before Tuesday was the work of the New York Yankees accomplished on September 17, 2020.
