Eugenio Suárez Hits Four Home Runs in Rare Feat as Diamondbacks Fall to Braves in Extra Innings

Suárez becomes the 19th player in MLB history to hit four home runs in a game, but Arizona loses 8-7 in 10 innings to Atlanta.

Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez reacts after hitting his fourth home run against Atlanta.
Eugenio Suárez hit three of his home runs off Grant Holmes, and the other off Raisel Iglesias.
Eugenio Suarez is the first player in nearly eight years to hit four home runs in one MLB game.

Overview

  • Eugenio Suárez homered in the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 9th innings, tying the game with his fourth blast, but the Braves secured the win in the 10th inning on a wild pitch.
  • Suárez's performance marks the first four-homer game in MLB since J.D. Martinez achieved the feat in 2017, also as a member of the Diamondbacks.
  • The Diamondbacks became only the second team in MLB history to lose a game where one of their players hit four home runs, joining the 1986 Braves.
  • Suárez now leads MLB with 10 home runs this season, despite entering the game with a .167 batting average.
  • The Braves rallied from a 6-2 deficit, with key contributions from Eli White and Michael Harris II, to claim their seventh win in eight games.
