"When I came over, I didn't expect to get that number", Gennett said. "That's why you never give up".

You go 0-for-19, then hit four home runs in a game.
The most recent four-homer game was submitted in 2012 by the Rangers' Josh Hamilton, who victimized the Orioles, and it hadn't happened in the National League since the Dodgers' Shawn Green blasted the Brewers in 2002.
Gennett's grand slam was the first Wainwright had allowed since 2012.
