Kyle Higashioka caught two baserunners stealing and homered in the same inning to help Joe Musgrove and the San Diego Padres beat the St. Louis Cardinals 3-2 on Wednesday and avoid a three-game sweep. According to Elias Sports Bureau, Higashioka became the fifth catcher since 1961 to catch multiple runners stealing and hit a home run in the same inning.
