Whiten's home runs drove in 12 runs, which also tied him for the major league record for most runs batted in a game.
Whiten was 0-4 in the first game but drove in the go-ahead run with a bases load walk in the eight inning.

 ESPN.com: MLB - As home runs rise, stolen bases fall
Early in the 20th century, the home run was a rare event, and the steal was not.
In 1913, roughly 2.5 bases were swiped per game, but from 1915 through 1919 the figure was closer to two steals per game, with no apparent connection to home runs.
In 1926, even though home runs were down from the previous season, for the first time the NL averaged less than one steal per game.

Nick Swisher and Eric Chavez smacked back-to-back home runs in the sixth inning on Monday, erasing a one-run deficit and propelling the Athletics to a 3-2 victory before 23,802 at Ameriquest Field.
The quick reversal was reminiscent of the teams' April 15 game in Oakland, when Rangers starter Vicente Padilla had a shutout for 4 2/3 innings, then gave up four home runs in the span of five batters to turn his lead into a 5-4 loss.
Chavez's home run was the 198th of his career, and No. 192 hit as Oakland's third baseman, breaking a tie with Sal Bando for the Athletics franchise record for home runs from that position.

 Ivars Peterson's MathTrek -Random Home Runs
Statistically, a run is a sequence of the same number (or symbol or object) preceded and followed by different numbers (or symbols or objects).
About half of these will contain at least one additional head, meaning that we will probably get 16 runs of three heads or more, eight runs of at least four heads, four runs of at least five heads, two runs of six heads or more, and one run of seven heads or more.
For each player, he analyzed a sequence in which 0 represents a game in which no home run was hit and 1 represents a game in which one or more home runs were hit.
