Homer Bailey tied the all-time record for most home runs allowed by a pitcher named Homer. He joins Homer Blankenship with two allowed. (Homer Hillebrand gave up 1, and Homer Spragins never allowed any.) Bailey may not get the chance to move past Blankenship, however, as his ERA now stands at 8.10 after giving up seven runs in 3 2/3 innings today. The Cardinals won the game 11-7 as there were a total of six long balls hit between the two teams.

One of those was by Ken Griffey, who connected for this 585th dinger. He only hit one in April, but put together consecutive months of ten, and he's off to a good start in July. He needs one more to tie Frank Robinson. Griffey's averages for the year pretty closely match his career numbers; he's .291/.374/.557 for his career, .292/.387/.577 this season.
