Stathead Spotlight

The Houston Astros teed off for five home runs in the second inning of yesterday's encounter with the Boston Red Sox, tying a record for the most home runs in an inning. Nathan Eovaldi had the unwanted record of becoming just the fourth NL/AL pitcher since 1901 to allow 5 home runs in two innings of work or less.
