The Red Sox knuckleballer tied a record he probably didn’t want—yet still left with the “W.” Giving up six homers in a game usually means a short night for any pitcher—but Tim Wakefield wasn’t just any pitcher. On August 8, 2004, the Tigers tagged him for six of their seven total home runs, tying a 64-year-old MLB record. Despite the barrage, Wakefield stayed in long enough to benefit from Boston’s offensive fireworks. The Red Sox lineup slugged their way to an 11-9 victory, handing Wakefield a most unlikely win.
