On September 14, 1987 — The Blue Jays blast a major league record of ten home runs in an 18-3 rout of the Orioles at Exhibition Stadium. Ernie Whitt goes deep three times, Rance Mulliniks and George Bell each hit a pair, and Lloyd Moseby, Rob Ducey, and Fred McGriff each go deep once, with Baltimore’s Mike Hart adding one to tie the two-team major league mark of 11.
In the seventh inning, Kelly Gruber, appearing as a pinch-hitter, makes all three outs by hitting into a double play and then finishing the seven-run frame with a strikeout. In between his at-bats, there are five singles and two home runs.
In the bottom of the 8th inning, Orioles’ manager Cal Ripken Sr. puts Ron Washington at shortstop, ending his son’s, Cal Ripken Jr., record streak at 8,243 consecutive innings, a span of 904 games.
