Papi's Grand Slam resulted in earned runs charged to four different pitchers

ASTROBURN · Oct 14, 2013

Veras gave up the double to Middlebrooks.
Smyly walked Ellsbury.
Alburquerque gave up the single to Pedroia.
Benoit only gets credit for Ortiz scoring himself.
Not sure how many times that's ever happened, but I'm guessing not many.

That is surely a rare occurrence

According to Retrosheets email list...

"Looked this up. First time ever in postseason and 8th time in the RetroSheet canon.

....the bbref.com site indicates that 2 of the occurrences look to have included an unearned run for one of the pitchers......so only the 6th time all were "earned" runs.

Note how only one of the instances was pre 1980.
