As someone else said, he was a little unlucky. Besides the home runs (no defending those), he gave up a bloop single, a bunt single, and a single that could have been a GIDP had we not been shifting.

One more and we’d be only the 4th team with 9+ HRs in a game. Says this is the 24th time a team hit exactly 8 in a game.
Umps really helped us out with Ramirez. First pitch was a ball and he probably didn’t go around on the second pitch. Should have been 2-0 instead of 0-2. I’ll take it.
