Cleveland jumped on the Cincinnati Reds with an early 17-0 lead through four innings, ultimately winning the game 19-4.
Colorado led the Arizona Diamondbacks 18-1 through four innings.
Before Wednesday’s action, there had never been a day in MLB history that saw multiple teams with at least a 17-run lead through four innings.
The two teams’ 17-run leads also became the largest by any team in the first four innings of a game over the last 10 seasons – the Seattle Mariners led the Texas Rangers 17-0 on May 30, 2012.
During the Indians game, Jose Ramirez hit his 26th and 27th home runs of this season, which is the most by a switch hitter before the All-Star Break since Lance Berkman hit 29 in 2002. The only other switch hitter with at least 26 home runs before the All-Star Break was Mickey Mantle in 1956 and 1961.
