The pride of Bad Weather, José Dariel Abreu, equaled a major league record when he homered in his first at-bat on Sunday, which allowed him to hit four consecutive full-return hits.
Whistle set to fly 449 feet a cutter (87.4 mph) from Cubs starter Yu Darvish, extending the string of straight home runs that began yesterday when bounced balls in the sixth, eighth and ninth innings of the engagement against the Cubs.
Before today, this feat had occurred 42 times in MLB, without anyone ever being able to reach five successive homers.
Right now, Abreu – who led the AL Pushers last year – leads the circuit in homers (11) and RBIs (28).
Between 2014 and 2017, Pito became just the third player in history to hit 25 or more home runs and chart 100 or more runs in each of his first four seasons, behind the immortal Joe DiMaggio and Albert Pujols.
In addition, he has been Rookie of the Year, a three-time All-Star and has won a pair of Silver Bats.

We need your help:
Like you, thousands of Cubans they read and support the independent journalism of CiberCuba. Our editorial independence begins with our economic independence: no organization in any country finances CiberCuba. We make our own agenda, we publish our opinions and we give voice to all Cubans, without external influences.
Our newspaper has been financed until today only through advertising and own funds, but that limits what we can do. For this we ask for your help. Your financial contribution will allow us to carry out more investigative journalism actions and increase the number of collaborators who report from the island, while preserving our editorial independence. Any contribution, big or small, will be very valuable for our future. From only $ 5 and with just one minute of your time you can collaborate with CiberCuba. Thank you.
