Well, that was a good inning!

From the Elias Sports Bureau, via espn.com:

"Kris Benson lasted only two-thirds of an inning at Shea Stadium, but that was long enough for the Nationals to collect six runs on eight hits against him. Benson became only the second starting pitcher in the last 37 years to be removed from a game in the top of the first inning after allowing at least eight hits.

Since the advent of divisional play in 1969, the only other starting pitcher to allow at least eight hits in a home game in which he pitched less than an inning was the Cardinals' Brady Raggio on May 15, 1998. Raggio lasted two-thirds of an inning while allowing seven runs on nine hits to the Marlins."
