Raburn's 3-game Output Matched By Only Three Others In Last 75 Years

From Elias: Ryan Raburn, who was 4-for-5 on Wednesday night, is the fourth major-league player in the last 75 years to have at least 11 hits and four home runs in a three-game span. The others were Duke Snider (1955 Dodgers), Kirby Puckett (1987 Twins) and Shawn Green (2002 Dodgers). Raburn is also the first major-league player since Kevin Kouzmanoff in August 2009 to collect 11 hits in a span of 12 at-bats.

Indians Dominate Four Games

From Elias: The Indians have won their last four games, outscoring opponents by 34 runs over that stretch (39-5). Cleveland last won four straight games by such a large combined margin in August 1948 (41-7, including a 26-3 win over the St. Louis Browns) on their way to winning the World Series.

Indians 6, Phillies 0

Hey, at least Delmon Young is active!

It hasn't been the best of Aprils for the Phillies, and while there was hope that year's mediocre season would see a return to recent glory with full and healthy seasons from Chase Utley, Ryan Howard and Roy Halladay, that hasn't been the case.

Thoughts: Pablo Sandoval is just big-boned

Quick thoughts on a Tuesday night that featured a lot of home runs across this great land ... Look, Pablo Sandoval is fat. I'm about 99.7 percent sure if that if he lost 10 or 50 pounds that he'd be a better player.

Reynolds Hits 8th April Hr To Lead Bombardment Of Halladay

From Elias: Carlos Santana and Mark Reynolds hit first-inning home runs off Roy Halladay - the first time that Halladay has ever yielded two round-trippers in a first inning - and the Indians would add five more homers in a 14-2 victory over the Phillies. It was the eighth home run of the season for Reynolds; he tied the record for the most homers by a player in his first month with the Indians. Juan Gonzalez hit eight home runs for the Tribe in April 2001, and finished that season with 35. In all, there were nine home runs hit in the Phillies-Indians contest, the most hit in any major-league game since the Braves and the Yankees combined for nine in a game last June 20. And the total of 50 home runs hit in the 15 big-league games on Tuesday night was the highest on one day in the majors in more than five years, since 51 homers were hit in the 16 games played on Sept. 11, 2007.
