[edit] History, Comments, Contributions
On May 10, the 2012 Baltimore Orioles became the first American League team to lead off a game with three straight homers (it had been done three times in the National League). Rookie Ryan Flaherty took Colby Lewis deep for his major league homer, and J.J. Hardy and Nick Markakis followed. The Orioles won the game 6-5, belting five homers and getting no other hits off Lewis and his successor on the mound.
