Being one of the oldest franchises in Major League Baseball often means your players did something before everyone else. It also means that for the rarest of stats, it can be a while before it happens again.
This was the case on Thursday night, when Padres rookie reliever Daniel Camarena stepped up to the plate in his second career major-league game and hit a grand slam off of Max Scherzer.
