Michael Lorenzen Homers, Renaissance player of Jackie Reds, wins the Phillies match

Armed with his fantastic set of weapons, Reds reliever, Michael Lorenzen, gave a thumbs up to the Phillies' cardless dreams in an 8-5 win on Wednesday night, and became the second player of the day. 39 history of the major leagues to hit a home run, play a position in the field and win the victory in the same match. The first was none other than Babe Ruth in 1921.

Did Lorenzen play particularly well? Ah, hmm, no, not really. He came into play in the seventh inning to replace Robert Stephenson, the Reds had a 5-4 lead, and quickly gave up the field to Jay Bruce.

But he stayed in the next set (the Reds rallied to 6-5) and by the end of the eighth, hit his own two-run home run to give the Reds an 8-5 lead. He was redeployed to the center of the field at the ninth goal, putting an end to this beautiful little tour of the thrills that baseball has to offer.

MLB StatisticsSince entering the league in 2015, Lorenzen has had seven homers, the second-highest number of throws in this period after 12-year-old Madison Bumgarner.

Shohei Ohtani is shaking! Lorenzen is not. "For me, it's just a funny little statistic, like a baseball statistic," he said in a postgame. "I'm not too much into statistics like that, but I know that for a lot of people that means a lot."
