To be kind, the Milwaukee Brewers struggled a bit in the third inning of their game with the Washington Nationals Thursday.
They gave up five home runs, all off the arm of spot starter Michael Blazek who gave up six total in his outing.
While already trailing 2-0 entering the inning, Blazek gave up a home run to Brian Goodwin, scoring Max Scherzer.
Then, Wilmer Difo followed up with his own homer for a back-to-back job.
That was followed by Bryce Harper going yard to center field.
Next, Ryan Zimmerman struck his own bomb for four home runs in a row.
After a flyout by Daniel Murphy, Anthony Rendon hit a homer to left center for the fifth home run of the inning.

That tied a record set by, yes, the Milwaukee Brewers in 2006 against Cincinnati.
The Nationals hit three more home runs after that inning, bringing their total to the game for eight as of the fourth inning.
