This woke me up more than my coffee

6 straight hits, 5 Homeruns, across 2 pitchers.
9,000 PPs

Wow, back-to-back-to-back-to-back. Definitely a rare achievement!

9 Times in MLB history - all between 1961-Present

(not as rare as I thought, but still cool

)

June 8, 1961
Eddie Mathews, Hank Aaron, Joe Adcock, and Frank Thomas hit four consecutive homers in an inning off Reds' pitchers Jim Maloney (2) and Marshall Bridges (2), making the Braves the first major league team to accomplish the feat. The seventh inning big fly barrage, another blast by Mathews, and one by Warren Spahn aren't enough, when Cincinnati still manages to win the Crosley Field contest, 10-8.

July 31, 1963
In the Indians' 9-5 victory over the Angels at Cleveland Stadium, the team hits four consecutive homers in an inning when Woodie Held, Pedro Ramos, Tito Francona, and Larry Brown all go deep in the sixth with two outs off recently acquired Paul Foytack. The former Tiger will become the first major league pitcher to allow a team to go deep in four straight at-bats in a single frame.

May 2, 1964
Posting a 7-3 victory, the Twins become only the third team in major league history to hit four consecutive home runs in an inning as Tony Oliva, Bob Allison, Jimmie Hall, and Harmon Killebrew all go deep against A's pitchers Dan Pfister (3) and Vern Handrahan (1) in the top of the 11th frame at Kansas City's Municipal Stadium. The A's will surrender 220 round-trippers, breaking the big league mark of 199 established by the team's pitching staff last season.

September 18, 2006
The Dodgers, who are last in the National League in homers, hit four consecutive home runs in an inning when Jeff Kent, J.D. Drew, Russell Martin, and Marlon Anderson all go deep in the bottom of the ninth to tie the Padres, 9-9. The improbable feat, which had been accomplished only by the 1964 Twins, 1963 Indians, and the 1961 Braves, leads to Nomar Garciaparra's walk-off two-run homer in the tenth and sole possession of first place when Los Angeles beat the Friars, 11-10.

April 22, 2007
The Red Sox become the fifth team in big league history to hit four consecutive home runs in an inning when Manny Ramirez, J.D. Drew, Mike Lowell, and Jason Varitek all go deep with two outs in the third inning at Fenway off Yankee starter Chase Wright, who becomes only the second hurler to allow a team to accomplish the feat of one pitcher. J.D. Drew was also part of the quartet of the 2006 Dodgers who were the fourth major league team to connect for four straight round-trippers in one frame.

August 14, 2008
In the sixth inning of a 9-2 rout of the Royals, the White Sox become the sixth team in major league history to hit four consecutive home runs in an inning. Jim Thome, Paul Konerko, and Alexei Ramirez all go deep off K.C. reliever Joel Peralta, with Juan Uribe completing the record-tying feat by taking Robinson Tejeda yard at Chicago's U.S. Cellular Field.

August 11, 2010
In an 8-2 victory over Milwaukee at Miller Park, the Diamondbacks become the only the seventh team to hit four consecutive home runs in an inning. In the top of the fourth inning, Adam LaRoche, Miguel Montero, Mark Reynolds, and Stephen Drew all connect off Dave Bush, making the right-hander only the third hurler in major league history to yield four straight round-trippers.

July 27, 2017
The top of the Nationals lineup hit four consecutive home runs in one inning when Brian Goodwin, Wilmer Difo, Bryce Harper, and Ryan Zimmerman all go deep in the bottom of the third inning in the team’s 15-2 rout of the Brewers. Milwaukee right-hander Michael Blazek becomes the first pitcher in baseball history to allow five home runs in an inning when Anthony Rendon adds another round-tripper later in the frame.

June 9, 2019
In a span of seven pitches off Padres right-hander Craig Stammen, the Nationals become the ninth team in baseball history to hit four consecutive home runs in one inning en route to a 5-2 victory at Petco Park. Howie Kendrick, Trea Turner, Adam Eaton, and Anthony Rendon provide the eighth-inning back-to-back-to-back-to-back homers for Washington, who also accomplished the feat in 2017.

Congrats on your achievement!

Hmmm. I might need to get rid of Bridges on one of my teams?
