History was made in Major League Baseball on Friday. Athletics designated hitter Nick Kurtz of Lancaster, Pennsylvania set the MLB record for most home runs in a game by a rookie with four. He accomplished the feat in a 15-3 Athletics win over the Houston Astros from Daikin Park in Houston, Texas.
Kurtz is the second player this season with four home runs in a single game. The first was Eugenio Suarez of Puerto Ordaz, Venezuela, who hit four home runs in an 8-7 Arizona Diamondbacks loss to the Atlanta Braves on April 26. Kurtz is the 20th player in MLB history to accomplish the feat and set the Athletics record for most home runs in a game.
