Wilyer Abreu joins Roger Maris on a rare MLB list

Wilyer Abreu had himself quite a night as the Boston Red Sox knocked off the visiting Cincinnati Reds by a final score of 13-6.

The Red Sox outfielder went 2-for-5 with both a grand slam and a home run, knocking in five runs in Boston’s victory. But it was how those home runs came about that saw Abreu accomplish something we have not seen in the major leagues since Roger Maris did it back in 1958.
