Did Michael Harris II tie a quirky record last night?

Okay, this isn’t even a “daily question” in the sense of “a question that fosters discussion.” I’m going to tell you the answer, eventually. Last night, Michael Harris II went 4-for-4 with a homer and a double. That’s a pretty great batting line, but given that we saw a game last year where he went […]
