Answer

Paul Foytack gave up four consecutive home runs to Woodie Held, Pedro Ramos, Tito Francona, and Larry Brown of the Cleveland Indians on July 31, 1963.

Chase Wright of the New York Yankees gave up consecutive home runs to Manny Ramirez, J.D. Drew, Mike Lowell, and Jason Varitek of the Boston Red Sox on April 22, 2007.

Answer

Paul Foytack. July 31, 1963: The Indians become the first American League club to hit four straight home runs. Number eight hitter Woody Held begins with a 2-out blast off Paul Foytack, P Pedro Ramos follows with his 2nd of the game, Tito Francona makes it three straight, and rookie SS Larry Brown's first ML 4-bagger finishes the string. Foytack sets a dubious ML record�the only pitcher to give up four straight home runs. The Indians win 9�5 in the opener of two with the Angels.
