The Bad:

Diamondbacks starter Ian Kennedy gave up three solo home runs to Ike Davis of the Mets. The distances of those home runs according to ESPN Stats & Info... The first was 435 feet, the second was 445 feet and third home run was 394 feet.

He Said It:

"It was everything. Even in the third at-bat I even hung a curveball to try something different. I threw good ones and he was fouling them off. I can at least laugh at it now. It was almost jaw-dropping. I have never given up three to the same guy. I guess, he made SportsCenter."
