Colorado Rockies trivia: 5 questions that could stump you

Who were the four Colorado Rockies to hit a home run in the same inning?

OK, so here is the answer. The four Rockies who hit a home run in the seventh inning of the June 6, 1999, game against the Milwaukee Brewers are Henry Blanco, Neifi Perez, Dante Bichette, and Angel Echevarria. Colorado would win the game 10-5 as the Rockies notched their fourth straight victory.

Hitting four homers in an inning has not been accomplished since then, although the Rockies did give it a run on September 26, 2018, at home against the Philadelphia Phillies. In the fifth inning of that contest, David Dahl, Trevor Story, and Ian Desmond each smacked a home run in a 14-0 shellacking.
