They say that lightning never strikes the same place twice. The same apparently cannot be said about home runs.
The Astros ambushed Red Sox starter Nathan Eovaldi during the second inning of Tuesday night’s game at Fenway Park, tagging him for five home runs in the span of 11 batters. In all, nine runs came across for Houston, putting the game out of reach before it really began.
That’s all well and good, except the improbability of five home runs being hit in the same inning was overshadowed by the fact that one fan caught two of them.
