1958 – At Shibe Park, the first multi-HR game of Roberto Clemente’s career helps the surprising Pirates outlast Philadelphia, 10 – 9. His first and second-inning 2-run blasts touch down in “the lower deck in left-center” and the “upper deck,” respectively, and together with Bill Mazeroski’s 1st-inning, 2-run rooftop shot, provide a seemingly secure 6 – 0 lead.

Lavarnway hits his first two major league homers then makes a great defensive play on a squibbler by Matt Wieters as the Orioles are rallying in the 9th. The Rays stay tied with Boston by beating the Yankees, 5 – 3, thanks to home runs by Matt Joyce and Ben Zobrist which account for all of their scoring. The Rays also pull a triple play in the 6th inning in the game.
