Washington Nationals fans witnessed an uncommon occurrence on Saturday afternoon at Nationals Park when Adam Eaton and Howie Kendrick hit home runs on back to back pitches to turn a 2-1 deficit against the Pittsburgh Pirates into an eighth-inning 3-2 lead.
As rare as the event was, there was a night in Nats history where the feat was accomplished not once but twice in the same contest.
Entering a four-game series in September 2012 against the Chicago Cubs, the surprising Nationals were 81-52 and had a comfortable 6.5 game lead in the National League East.
