The Yankee Stadium crowd was awaiting history off the bat of Aaron Judge on Wednesday night. Instead, it was Gleyber Torres who accomplished a rare feat in his young career. 

Torres led off the bottom of the eighth inning with a solo home run, smacking a pitch to right field off Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Miguel Yajure to make it a 7-2 game. 

It would spark a rally in the inning that allowed Judge to get up for the fifth time on the night. However, new pitcher Eric Stout walked him in four pitches, as he heard a shower of boos from the crowd that wanted to see Judge tie Roger Maris’s American League record for the most homers in a single season.

Two batters later, Torres decided it was time to hit a home run to left field. He bashed one high into the Bronx night and make it a 14-2 game, which would end up being the final score. 

With his 22nd and 23rd home runs of the year hit in the same inning, Torres became the 59th player in MLB history to do so. It is an odd club to be a part of, but players like Willie McCovey, Andre Dawson and Alex Rodriguez are in the mix there.

There are some even weirder MLB records, like Fernando Tatis’s two home run-inning in 1999 for the St. Louis Cardinals, as both of them were grand slams. He is the only player to do so in history.
