Notes & reviews

the Red Sox become the 12th team to hit 4 or more homers in one inning; this is the sixth time that the Red Sox have accomplished the feat; it was last done by the Red Sox on 7/4/1977; Boston also hits back-to-back-to-back homers for the first time in club history since 8/13/1977
Dave Stapleton becomes just the 6th AL player to hit 2 homers in his first two ML games
