2018 – Kendrys Morales homers in his sixth straight game to spark a comeback for the Blue Jays, who trail the Phillies, 5 – 0 at that point in the 4th. But a two-run homer by Billy McKinney in the 7th brings the Jays to within one run, then Morales sparks the winning rally in the 8th with a lead-off walk against Seranthony Dominguez. A few batters later, Aledmys Diaz hits a bases-clearing double to put Toronto ahead, 8 – 6, and Ken Giles records his 18th save in as many opportunities. Morales will homer again tomorrow, to bring his streak to seven game, one shy of the major league record.
