BALTIMORE — With two more mighty swings of his bat Wednesday night, Boston Red Sox leadoff man Mookie Betts went from amazing to historic.
One night after belting three home runs, one to each part of the field, Betts went deep in his first two at-bats in Wednesday’s 13-9 loss to the Baltimore Orioles, becoming the first player ever to hit a home run in each of the first two innings of consecutive games.
Betts also tied a major league record with five homers in a span of seven at-bats, the first player to achieve the feat since Josh Hamilton, who did it for the Texas Rangers on May 7-10, 2012.
