White Sox hit 4 straight HRs vs Cardinals reliever in debut

The Chicago White Sox tied a major league mark with four consecutive home runs and went on to beat the Cardinals 7-2 on Sunday.

 

Roel Ramirez is the first pitcher to allow four straight homers in his debut. Yoan Moncada, Yasmani Grandal, Jose Abreu and Eloy Jimenez connected during a six-run fifth inning.

 

Ramirez took the mound in the fifth with Chicago leading 1-0. He struck out Luis Robert to start, but things went south quickly. After two singles, a caught stealing and a walk, Moncada smacked a three-run homer to right.

 

Grandal followed with another drive into the right-field seats, and then Abreu and Jimenez each homered to left.

 

Shildt replaced Ramirez with the debuting Seth Elledge, and he struck out Edwin Encarnacion on three straight pitches to end the inning.
