On August 8, 2000, in just his second start at the Major League level Norton surrendered a Major League record tying four home runs in one inning against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Norton, along with 37 other Major League pitchers, including Cy Young Award winners Randy Johnson, Zack Greinke, Justin Verlander, and John Smoltz were tied for the most home runs allowed in an inning until July 27, 2017, when Michael Blazek of the Milwaukee Brewers allowed 4 consecutive home-runs, followed by a pop out, and one more home run in the inning (for a record breaking 5 HR's allowed), during his first ever Major League start.

gollark: I.e. dependent on the last year of NDing, not the most recent turns or whatever.
gollark: I think those are larger-scale.
gollark: Also, on the turn rate thing being mentioned, while I doubt TJ09 is manually twiddling values when people get turns, there may be for some strange reason some automatic system to make turns less likely after lots have happened.
gollark: I'll have to see how my AR script does it.
