There's never been a top of the first inning at Fenway Park like the Angels had on Monday night.
That's a lot of first innings, considering Fenway Park has been holding MLB games for 113 years.
But there the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim were right off the bat, accomplishing a first.
The feat: The Angels hit three home runs. A visiting team had never hit three homers in the first inning at Fenway.
Fenway Park opened in 1912, and it even hosted the Boston Braves for a time (none of their opponents did it, either).
