No, I meant Paul Foytack is the only other person to give them up consecutively. Foytack first, then Wright.

Mistake: I see you got the wrong Encarnacion in the article. It’s Edwin, not Juan.

For those who might think of the Dodgers 9th inning comeback (as I did), Trevor Hoffman relieved Jon Atkins after the first two HR and allowed the 2nd two.

I think Chase is the only pitcher to ever give them up back-to-back? There seems to be about 1 pitcher a year to do it in a single inning.

If I recall correctly, when Chase Wright did it he became just the second player to ever allow the four home runs. I just looked it up and apparently Paul Foytack, a Tigers pitcher from the 50s was the first.
