    Arizona Diamondbacks farmhand Jon Griffin picked right up where he left off, homering in the second inning of Thursday's game to extend his streak of going yard to five at-bats.

    The streak came to an end as Griffin grounded out in the sixth inning after walking in his second plate appearance during the Mobile BayBears' 6-5 loss to the Tennessee Smokies on Thursday.

    The major league record is four straight at-bats with a home run, accomplished many times but last done by Carlos Gonzalez in 2012.

    On Wednesday night, Griffin matched the Southern League record with four home runs in Mobile's 17-7 victory over the Smokies.
