Scooter Gennett of the Reds has a night for the ages as he homers four times and drives in 10 runs in a 13 – 1 drubbing of the Cardinals

2017 – Scooter Gennett of the Reds has a night for the ages as he homers four times and drives in 10 runs in a 13 – 1 drubbing of the Cardinals. The usually light-hitting infielder goes 5-for-5 after entering the game with 3 homers on the year and having just come out of an 0-for-19 slump the day before. He starts things off innocently enough with a run-scoring single in the 1st, then hits a grand slam in the 3rd, a two-run shot in the 4th, a solo homer in the 6th and another two-run homer in the 8th. Gennett is the 17th player in major league history to perform the feat, the last having been Josh Hamilton in 2012.
