Shortstop WIlly Adames hit his 29th home run of the season in the Milwaukee Brewers' 9–3 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Monday.
However, the first-inning home run off pitcher Andre Pallante was interesting for a variety of reasons, putting the seven-year veteran in some very intriguing company.
With Monday's deep shot, Adames has hit a homer in five consecutive games. That tied a Brewers record with Jeromy Burnitz and Eric Thames. Five consecutive games with a home run also ties the record for most by a shortstop since 1900, according to MLB.
