CINCINNATI -- A distinction former Cardinal Mark Whiten had alone held since his legendary performance on a September night back in 1993 was amended on Tuesday, back in the city where Whiten first made history.
In leading the Reds to a 13-1 win over the Cardinals, Scooter Gennett joined Whiten as the only players in Major League history to have a four-homer game that included a grand slam. Whiten would not have had to accept company, however, had the Cardinals not taken the unusual approach of erasing one of their own outs.
