There have been two players in Major League Baseball history to hit a home run, play center field and earn the win as a pitcher in the same game. Babe Ruth was the first on June 13, 1921.
Michael Lorenzen added his name to the list Wednesday, 98 years after Ruth set the standard for two-way players.
Lorenzen smacked his first homer of the season on a first-pitch cutter from Philadelphia Phillies reliever Blake Parker in the eighth inning, a two-run blast that sealed an 8-5 win at Great American Ball Park.
