Impact Ramirez became the first pitcher in major-league history to allow four consecutive home runs in a debut, with Yoan Moncada, Yasmani Grandal, Jose Abreu and Eloy Jimenez all doing the honors in the fifth inning. The right-hander had only three innings worth of experience at the Triple-A level in the minors, so Sunday's assignment represented a considerable step up in competition. Ramirez is likely to be optioned back down to the team's alternate training site as soon as the Cardinals get some reinforcements in the bullpen.
