Rangers’ Josh Hamilton Hits Four Homers Against Orioles - NYTimes.com - Tyler Kepner - We have not even finished the second week of May, and already this is a baseball season like no other. For the first time in history, the most precious achievements for a pitcher and a hitter have occurred in the same season. Josh Hamilton of the Texas Rangers belted four home runs on Tuesday night in Baltimore, just 17 days after Philip Humber of the Chicago White Sox tossed a perfect game in Seattle. The Rangers thumped the Orioles, 10-3, with Hamilton adding a double to set the American League’s single-game record for total bases, with 18. He tied the major league record, set by Joe Adcock of the Milwaukee Braves in 1954.
