4 homers allowed in MLB debut
CHICAGO — St. Louis Cardinals reliever Roel Ramirez set a record in his debut — just not the kind any pitcher wants.
The Chicago White Sox tied a major league mark with four consecutive home runs, all against Ramirez, and went on to beat the Cardinals 7-2 on Sunday.
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.
