WASHINGTON -- The Washington Nationals tied a major league record on Thursday by hitting five home runs in an inning.
The barrage came in the bottom of the third against Milwaukee Brewers starter Michael Blazek and included back-to-back-to-back-to-back homers.
After Nats pitcher Max Scherzer drew a walk to start the frame, leadoff man Brian Goodwin homered to right field. Wilmer Difo followed by going deep to right center. After that, Bryce Harper drilled one over the wall in left-center, and then cleanup hitter Ryan Zimmerman punctuated the string with a homer of his own to left-center.
