D'Backs' Suarez becomes 19th MLB player to hit four homers in one game
Arizona slugger Eugenio Suarez became the 19th player in Major League Baseball history to hit four home runs in one game on Saturday, taking his season total to 10 in the Diamondbacks' 8-7 extra-innings loss to the Atlanta Braves.
Suarez's fourth homer of the night knotted the score at 7-7 in the bottom of the ninth to force extra innings.
That came after he homered in his first three at-bats: a solo shot in the second inning, a two-run homer in the fourth and another solo blast in the sixth.
All came off Braves starting pitcher Grant Holmes, who was lifted after surrendering Suarez's third homer, a 443-foot blast over the center field wall at Chase Field in Phoenix.
Venezuela's Suarez had two prior three-homer games in his career, most recently in July of last year with the Diamondbacks.
He's the first player with four homers since another Diamondbacks player, J.D. Martinez, had four in September of 2017.
