Red Sox Memories: Boston’s bats bash four consecutive home runs against Yankees

Giving up back-to-back home runs must be a demoralizing experience for a pitcher that can shake their confidence. We can only imagine how rattled a pitcher would be after coughing up four homers in a row since very few have ever done it. The Boston Red Sox are one of the few teams that have tortured a pitcher with the long ball in four straight plate appearances and they did it against their greatest rival.

It was April 22, 2007 and the New York Yankees were in town wrapping up a three-game series at Fenway Park. Left-hander Chase Wright was thrown into the fire of this epic rivalry in only his second career start.
