Tuesday's back-to-back-to-back homers are just the second at home for a Brewers team

Rowdy Tellez, Brian Anderson and Garrett Mitchell hit back-to-back-to-back home runs on Tuesday against New York Mets ace Max Scherzer, part of a 9-0 blowout win that gave the Brewers a 4-1 start to the season.

It's a rare achievement in and of itself (never mind when it comes against former Cy Young winners), with only eight total instances in Brewers history, but it's only the second time the Brewers have achieved it at home. Back in 2018 against the Padres, Jesús Aguilar, Travis Shaw and Eric Thames conspired on a string of three straight home runs in the team’s 8-4 win over the Padres at Miller Park.

Perhaps even more amazing was that the Brewers once turned the hat trick three times in the same season — and lost two of the three games. Or, that two players have actually participated in three back-to-back-to-back sequences. Can you guess which ones before scrolling?

Here are the other occasions:

Aug. 8, 2018: A first-inning ambush

Jesús Aguilar, Travis Shaw and Eric Thames. Aguilar reached out to swat an opposite-field 3-run shot against Padres starter Brett Kennedy, and after Thames and Shaw slugged their own bombs, the Brewers had a 5-0 lead in the first inning.

Every one of these remaining instances took place on the road.

May 19, 2015: Detroit rock city, but first a bunt

Ryan Braun, Adam Lind and Aramis Ramírez. In the third inning of a game at Comerica Park, Carlos Gómez surprised the Tigers with a two-out bunt single that scored a runner from third. That extended the inning and, following a walk to Gerardo Parra, three straight Brewers went deep. All the damage came against Tigers starter Aníbal Sánchez, helping Milwaukee take a 6-1 lead in an eventual 8-1 win.

August 27, 2012: Wrigley wrecking crew

Ryan Braun, Aramis Ramírez, Corey Hart. The Brewers were ahead of the Cubs heading into the ninth, 6-4, but poured it on in the final frame for a nine-run inning that gave Milwaukee a 15-4 win. Braun’s homer against Alex Hinshaw ignited a stretch of three straight bombs, all to left field.

September 9, 2007: Open with a bang-bang-bang

Rickie Weeks, JJ Hardy, Ryan Braun. You can’t start a game much better than Milwaukee did against the Reds, when each of the first three batters hit home runs. The Brewers ultimately scored four in the first and three in the second to take a 7-1 lead en route to a 10-5 victory.

Braun and Cecil Cooper have both participated in three back-to-back-to-back occasions in franchise history. You've seen Braun's entrants, now here are Cooper's.

September 12, 1982: Pinstripe heartbreak

Cecil Cooper, Ted Simmons, Ben Oglivie. In the final stretch before a World Series appearance, the Brewers went back-to-back-to-back all with two outs against Doyle Alexander and the Yankees to take a 5-0 lead in the third. Alas, for the second time in three occasions, they lost a game in which they went back-to-back-to-back. New York rallied and won the game, 9-8, in walk-off fashion on an RBI single by Roy Smalley.

June 5, 1982: Over the wall in Oakland

Robin Yount, Cecil Cooper, Ben Oglivie. Milwaukee turned a 4-3 game into a 7-3 lead when the three hitters went deep in succession against the Athletics, with the first two against Dave Beard and Oglivie against reliever Bob Owchinko. Milwaukee prevailed, 11-3.

May 28, 1982: Three bombs but a loss

Cecil Cooper, Don Money, Gorman Thomas. The Brewers lit up Geoff Zahn of the Angels to open the sixth inning and took a 5-2 lead, but the Angles battled back for a 6-5 win. Don Baylor homered in the bottom of the eighth against Dwight Bernard to break a 5-5 tie. No matter: the Brewers would get the best of the Angels when it mattered in the American League Championship Series.

Additional notes on four in a row

The Milwaukee Braves became the first Major League team to hit four in a row when Eddie Mathews, Hank Aaron, Joe Adcock and Frank Thomas conspired on the ultra-rare feat June 8, 1961. The first two came against Jim Maloney and the second two against Marshall Bridges.

The Braves lost the game, 10-8, to the Reds.

According to Retrosheet, teams have gone back-to-back-to-back-to-back just 10 times in MLB history. The Brewers have been on the wrong end of two instances.

The Nationals took Michael Blazek deep four times in succession on July 27, 2017, with Brian Goodwin, Wilmer Difo, Bryce Harper and Ryan Zimmerman all involved. Antony Rendon then homered after an out for five blasts in six batters.

On Aug. 11, 2010, the Diamondbacks took Dave Bush deep four times in a row (Adam LaRoche, Miguel Montero, Mark Reynolds and Stephen Drew).
