It's been almost 20 months, but finally Eutaw Street is back on the home run map. Luke Scott hit a two-run home run in the fourth inning off of Josh Beckett. The ball traveled 426 feet.
Scott now has five home runs on Eutaw Street. This ties him with Rafael Palmeiro for the most home runs by any single player. It is the fifty-third home run on the street, the twenty-third by an Oriole. Scott was also the last player to hit Eutaw Street, September 1, 2009, off of A.J. Burnett of the Yankees.
The last three home runs have been hit by Scott, all three off of different American League East opponents. He is the only player to hit three consecutive home runs onto the street.
This home run comes fifteen years to the day after Brady Anderson's first Eutaw Street blast, off of Bobby Witt of the Rangers April 27, 1996.
At 426 feet, this was the tenth-longest home run hit onto the street. A Red Sox pitcher had never given up a Eutaw Street home run before tonight.
