Consecutive pitches being hit?

[LarrySC]

We've all seen the scenario where a pitcher allows HR's on consecutive pitches, right? And I'm fairly confident that no hurler has allowed back-to-back-to-back HR's on consecutive pitches, correct? But has there ever been a pitcher that threw three (or more) consecutive pitches that were just plain hit? What about only throwing 3 pitches in one 1/2 inning? Is there a way to accurately determine this bit of trivia?

It's been done at least twice that I know of. Here's one of them (6th inning).

There have been many three-pitch half-innings. There have even been three-pitch half-innings with the same fielder making all three plays.
