Thus, Charros set the record for most consecutive home runs in the 98 years of the LMB and equaled the record for most home runs in the same inning (both with 5), which El Águila de Veracruz had established, this same 2024 Season, against Guerreros de Oaxaca .

Until the seventh inning, the game had remained “on the wire,” with the Charros leading by only one run, thanks to the performances of both starting pitchers: Matt Minnick and Cameron Gann, for Jalisco and Quintana Roo, respectively.
