MLB World amazed by San Francisco Giants hitting four home runs in one inning against Chicago White Sox: "I thought the HR derby was in July?"

The San Francisco Giants' offense exploded in the fifth inning against the Chicago White Sox, blasting four home runs in a single inning of action. This incredible display of power hitting gave the Giants a commanding lead that could not be overcome. Four home runs in one inning is an incredibly rare feat, especially considering it featured two different back-to-back home runs.

The Giants offense looked rather meek in their opening series against the New York Yankees, but is back strong now. The Chicago White Sox pitching couldn't catch a break as the opposition hit dinger after dinger after dinger after dinger. That's too many dingers for one sentence, let alone one inning.

The San Francisco Giants shared a clip of their final home run of the inning hit by Daniel Villar to Twitter.

In addition to Villar, the home runs were hit by Michael Conforto, Thairo Estrada, and Mike Yastrzemski. They certainly dialed in on and then shook up Chicago White Sox pitcher Michael Kopech. This outing certainly won't help his ERA this season.

The Giants are in an interesting position this season and it is difficult to predict how they will end up. They have the depth to be a great team, but they don't have a high-end star to lead them. If they had signed Carlos Correa or Aaron Judge as they hoped they would've, it would've been a different story. But if they can hit homers at this rate, they can beat anybody.

This was incredibly reassuring for many San Francisco Giants fans who had resigned themselves to a losing season. Being in the same division as the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres made the outlook bleak, but it is brighter now. Obviously four home runs in a single inning probably won't happen again, but it shows the foundation is strong.

The San Francisco Giants hit seven home runs in their win over the Chicago White Sox, with over half of those coming in a single inning.

The Giants and White Sox both have plenty of talented players, but not quite enough to reach contender status. They play in competitive divisions and are seeking to improve on their solid seasons in 2022 that didn't result in a playoff appearance.

As the season continues, it would not be a surprise to the the success levels of these two franchises mirror each other.
