As a loyal Colby Lewis owner, I went to lunch confident that he could handle the Orioles until I returned. 19 pitches later, he has served up three straight HRs to the first three batters he faced.
Now I turn my attention to the weather and start praying for rain so that these stats don't count. Of course, I really need the two Ks he managed thus far, so there is no good solution for me. Maybe he'll toss a CG, 15K "gem"?

Rangers starter Colby Lewis today became the first pitcher to ever allow at least five homers and also strike out at least 10 hitters in a start. In addition, he became the second pitcher, joining the Rangers Charlie Hough (who did it in 1989) to allow all five of his hits in a game to be homers while pitching at least 6 IP.

In that game, Hough also had the second most (now behind Lewis) K's (9) for any pitcher ever to give up 5+ dingers in a game. He threw 139 pitches over 7.2 innings. and took the loss against CLE 7-3. Homering that day for the Indians were Andy Allanson, Pete O'Brien, and 3 by Joe Carter.
Also playing in that game..............
Rookie Sammy Sosa for the Rangers, playing in just his 8th career game. He went 4 for 5.
Julio Franco........ he was 30 back then
Jim Sundberg was in his last season

Rain was the only hope Josh 'Tiger Woods' Beckett had tonight. Woeful performance against the Indians.
