High HR Win

The Indians beat the Astros 8-6 with an unusual way to win a game. The Astros out-homered the Indians 4-1, all six Houston runs scoring on a home run. Winning a game in which the pitchers allow four home runs is very unusual. In this decade (2011 on), teams allowed exactly four home runs 565 times. The winning percentage in those games is just .127. For all 785 games with at least four home runs allowed, the winning percentage is .115.
