Is there anything better than a walk-off home run? Try an MLB night with four of them all within a few hours of one another.

The New York Mets, Pittsburgh Pirates, Chicago White Sox and Colorado Rockies all ended their games in that fashion on Friday.

As far as chronology, the Pirates came first, and they were quite dramatic.

They trailed the Minnesota Twins 5-4 when Bryan Reynolds stepped to the plate with one runner on base in the bottom of the ninth.

After his swing, they were 6-5 winners.

Then it was Miguel Vargas for the White Sox. It was much the same situation for Chicago, just in extra innings. 

The Detroit Tigers took a 3-2 lead in the top half, but Vargas blasted a two-run homer for a 4-3 win.

MJ Melendez delivered for the Mets about five minutes of real time after the Vargas homer. 

This was a tie game against the Miami Marlins, and it was the first walk-off hit of any kind Melendez has ever had in the majors — a two-run shot for a 9-7 win in the 10th.

Ezequiel Tover capped the night. The Rockies were down 6-3 entering the bottom of the ninth against the Giants, but Hunter Goodman’s three-run homer tied it. Three batters later, Tovar hit a two-run blast to win it.

It was the fourth walk-off hit of Tovar’s career, and an amazing end to an amazing night of baseball.
