Chasing Wright
2007-04-23 10:18
by Mike Carminati

Chase Wright made history by allowing a record-tying four straight home runs to the Red Sox en route to a 7-6 loss and a series sweep. Remarkably his five homers allowed in eight innings are not close to the worst for a pitcher (min. 5 innings pitched), but he is the only major-leaguer ever with the first name "Sebern":

Hopefully last night was not his only record of making history.
