\"\"<\/a>The White Sox have been on a historic home run streak over the past few days.\u00a0 Sunday, versus the Cardinals, they notched the 10th occurrence in MLB history of 4 consecutive home runs when Yoan Moncada, Yasmani Grandal, Jose Abreu, and Eloy Jimenez went deep back to back to back to back in the 5th inning.\u00a0 The first three home runs also became the first time a team had 3 Cuban-born players go back to back to back.<\/p>\n

This was the second time the White Sox have accomplished this rare feat, joining the Nationals as the only franchise to do it more than once.\u00a0\u00a0Jim Thome, Paul Konerko, Alexei Ram\u00edrez, and Juan Uribe did the same on August 14, 2008 against the Royals.<\/p>\n
