What happened
Gerrit Cole has added an unwanted entry to MLB history after becoming the only pitcher to allow back-to-back-to-back home runs to the first three batters of a game more than once in his career. The latest occurrence came against the San Diego Padres, who immediately put Cole under pressure with three consecutive home runs to open the game.
