The Braves were trailing the Reds 10-2 entering the top of the seventh. Eddie Mathews started the streak with a two-run home run off Jim Maloney. Hank Aaron then hit the 229th home run of his career. Marshall Bridges took over after a pitching change and promptly allowed the final two home runs, to Joe Adcock and Frank Thomas.
The Diamondbacks and Phillies hit 13 home runs at Citizens Bank Park on Monday. Arizona finished with eight home runs, the most the D-Backs have ever hit in a game while Philly finished with five of its own. Eddie Mathews, Hank Aaron, Joe Adcock and Frank Thomas homered in 7th inning vs. Reds.

Hitting two home runs in a game is a feat, but imagine for a moment hitting a home run left-handed then hitting another in the same game right-handed. We have every instance in Major League history where a batter has had a home run from each side of the plate during the same game in our Fabulous Feats section. Bill Mueller is the only player to hit a grand slam from each side of the plate. Mark McGwire led the American League in home runs in 1987 and 1996.
In 1997, he led Major League Baseball in home runs, but led neither the American nor National League, as his season was split between the Oakland Athletics and St. Louis Cardinals. If that season were to be included, he would be the league leader for five seasons, four of which were in succession. Don Mattingly hit all six grand slams of his career in 1987. Yankees OF Giancarlo Stanton will begin a minor league rehab assignment Tuesday, reports MLB.com.

A model of consistency, the Alabama native smacked at least 40 bombs in a season eight times, with a high of 47 in 1971. The controversial Bonds — who is not in the Hall of Fame — sits atop the list for most home runs in a career and most in a single season . The seven-time MVP is also the all-time leader in walks and led the league in on-base percentage 10 times. The Indians became the first American League team to hit four straight home runs in the second game of a 1963 doubleheader. After two quick outs, they hit four straight solo home runs off Paul Foytack to extend a 5-1 lead to 9-1.
Four home runs by an individual in one game
The first player to reach 100 career home runs was Harry Stovey, who hit 12 home runs in 1890 to get to 101 for his career. There might not be anyone in baseball better at hitting home runs right now than Aaron Judge. The Yankees slugger's power display in 2022 has forced his name into the conversation for the single-season record.
He played his entire 18 years with the Phillies and was named NL MVP on three occasions. Illinois and Penn State joined an exclusive group with the Illini's win in a nine-overtime thriller on Oct. 23, 2021. It is the only game in history to go nine overtimes. Some players are active, but it's not marked just to add a little difficulty.
Multiple Home Run Games
He enjoyed a monster 2007 season in Cleveland, when he hit 52 home runs and led the league in slugging (.677) and OPS (1.122). The D-backs entered the top of the fourth inning at Miller Park trailing 2-0. After a Justin Upton flyout, Adam LaRoche went yard off Dave Bush to bring the D-backs within one run.

Barry Bonds, Hank Aaron, Babe Ruth, Alex Rodriguez and Albert Pujols make up the top five on the career home run list, but none of them hit four in a game . How about the most 2 home run games during a MLB career?
Here's a look at the all-time home run records for a game, season and career. It has only happened 10 times since, and, interestingly enough, the Drew brothers were a part of three of them. Drew hit the second of four straight homers for the Dodgers in 2006 and Red Sox in '07, and Stephen hit the fourth straight for the D-backs in 2010. Mike Cameron hit two home runs in the same inning as Bret Boone, becoming the first teammates to accomplish the feat. Cameron also finished the game with a record-equaling four home runs.
That was followed by homers from Miguel Montero, Mark Reynolds and Stephen Drew. It was the second time in the 2010 season that Bush had allowed four home runs in a game -- but the first time in a single inning. Of the 44 players eligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame who have hit two home runs in an inning, seven have been elected, three on the first ballot.
Willie McCovey , Andre Dawson , and Alex Rodriguez are three of the only five players to hit two home runs in one inning on two separate occasions. A classic slugger who struck out a ton and never hit for a high average, Killebrew clubbed at least 40 home runs eight times during a 12-year stretch in the late 1950s/early '60s. No player hit more home runs in the 1960s than Killer’s 393. And now they’re batting in the same lineup, with the impending trade that sends Stanton, the reigning NL MVP, from the Marlins to the Yankees. Judge isn’t set to hit free agency until after the 2023 season and Stanton, as you know, is under contract through 2027 (though he has an opt-out after 2020). If he’s happy in NYC and Yankee Stadium, records could fall at a record rate.
