Overview

  • Eugenio Suárez hit four home runs in a single game, becoming the 19th player in MLB history to achieve this milestone and the first since J.D. Martinez in 2017.
  • Suárez's fourth home run, a ninth-inning blast off closer Raisel Iglesias, tied the game at 7-7 and sent the contest into extra innings.
  • The Atlanta Braves secured an 8-7 victory in the 10th inning after Matt Olson scored the decisive run on a wild pitch by reliever Justin Martinez.
  • Despite Suárez's historic performance, the Diamondbacks suffered their fourth consecutive loss, while the Braves extended their strong run, winning seven of their last eight games.
  • Suárez now leads the league with 10 home runs this season, though his remarkable individual achievement could not alter the outcome for Arizona.
