For only the 16th time in baseball history, a player has hit four home runs in one game. That player was Josh Hamilton of the Texas Rangers, who did it Tuesday night against the Baltimore Orioles. All four of Hamilton’s homers were two-run shots.
Said Hamilton after the game: “Obviously it’s, other than being in the World Series, the highlight of my big-league career.”
Hamilton’s home runs came in the first inning, third inning, seventh inning and eighth inning. He also added a double in the fourth inning. For the game, Hamilton was 5-for-5 with four runs and eight RBIs.
On the season, Hamilton leads the American League in batting average (.406), home runs (14) and RBIs (36).
On the back of Hamilton’s heroics, the Rangers defeated the Orioles 10-3. The Rangers are now 20-10 on the season, which is the best record in all of baseball.
