CINCINNATI -- On the day after he became the 17th player in Major League history to hit four home runs in a game -- and the first ever for the Reds -- Scooter Gennett was a busy man. Gennett received a lot of congratulatory messages and fielded numerous requests, including appearing on national TV and radio shows.
"I had, I want to say, 270 text messages," Gennett said Wednesday. "I'm just glad my phone didn't die. I still don't really know how to get home in Kentucky."
Such is life after going 5-for-5 with the historic four homers and 10 RBIs in a 13-1 Reds win over the Cardinals on Tuesday.
