What pitcher hit 3 home runs against the Brooklyn Dodgers in the 1940s and on his 4th time at bat was robbed of a 4th by Ducky Medwick?

Jim Tobin hit 3 on May 13, 1942, BUT it was against the Cubs, not the Dodgers. Boston Braves ace Jim Tobin became the only Major League pitcher ever to hit three successive home runs during a May 13, 1942, 6-5 victory over the Chicago Cubs. In 1940, Tobin joined the Boston Braves, where manager Casey Stengel made him a relief pitcher. On May 13, 1942, by then a starter, Tobin became the only pitcher in modern major-league history to hit three home runs in one game (Guy Hecker hit three homers in a game in the nineteenth century).
