  • Three of Suárez’s homers came off Braves starter Grant Holmes, while the fourth tied the score in the ninth inning against closer Raisel Iglesias.
  • Despite Suárez’s historic effort, the Diamondbacks lost their fourth consecutive game as Atlanta scored the winning run on a wild pitch in the 10th inning.
  • Arizona became only the second team in MLB history to lose a game in which a player hit four home runs, joining the 1986 Braves.
