There are three active pitchers who have hit two home runs in a game:
Dontrell Willis - Sept. 20, 2006
Randy Wolf - August 11, 2004
Mike Hampton - June 6, 2005
Since 2000, only 5 pitchers have homered twice in a game - the three I mentioned, along with Robert Person and Darren Dreifort. Here's a list of the dates and boxscores:

Mike Hampton and Dontrelle Willis don't own the record for home runs in a season by a pitcher. That record is owned by Wes Ferrell of the Cleveland Indians with 9 back in 1931.

Mike Hampton and Dontrelle Willis have set a record most homeruns hit by a player in a season witch is seven.
Most in a game: Dontrelle Willis, 2.(One was a HR that started a 5 back-to-back Homeruns rally.)

Zambrano has 12 career homers, 6 last year and 2 this year so far. So if any current pitcher were to hit a multi-HR game it would be him, at least in my opinion.

Current high among active pitchers is 15 by Mike Hampton
and 10 by Carlos Zambrano.
Could not find a multi-HR game by a pitcher, :-(

It's probably Jake Peavy or Carlos Zambrano, I don't know how many. They are the only ones that here have hit numerous HRs in a season.

I don't think it has been done yet by an active pitcher but Zambrano will probably be the first to do it.

It hasn't been done yet, but Zambrano will do it first.
