Has this ever happened in MLB history?

Bottom of the 8th. Rick Aguilera comes in and gives up a Homer, then a triple, then a double, then single:

SUBSTITUTION at P: Paul Assenmacher (L)
2 1 3 B.Bonds 3-5 Line Out (2B) b-0 F9

I'm not really sure exactly what to even call this? A reverse natural consecutive cycle by a pitcher? I was ticked that HAL pulled him, maybe he could have walked the next guy, or drilled him.

My google-fu isn't good enough to find an actual MLB example of this, so maybe it is unprecedented. Probably just one of those 5,000,000 monkeys with 5,000,000 typewriters type thing.

Having watched some pretty bad Padres teams in the late 80's/early 90's, I wouldn't be surprised if some of those staffs had given that up!

It has happened... The Seattle Mariners pulled it off, in the first inning, against Justin Verlander, no less.
