Notes & reviews
- over the seats into the street
- the fifth time in history that a team hit four consecutive homers; second time that they were surrendered by one pitcher (Paul Foytack); J.D. Drew also was part of the previous instance on 9/18/2006 with the Dodgers
- infield shifted to right for Giambi
