One unlikely player suddenly became Barry Bonds on Saturday night.
Arizona Diamondbacks infielder Eugenio Suarez had the game of a lifetime against the Atlanta Braves at Chase Field in Phoenix, Ariz. on Saturday. Suarez homered not once … not twice … not even three times … but four times on the day.
Perhaps even more impressive was that his four homers came in his only four at-bats. Suarez saved his best for last too as his fourth dinger was a game-tying shot in the bottom of the ninth inning.
The 33-year-old Suarez became just the 19th player in MLB history to have a four-homer game and the first since JD Martinez in 2017. Four home runs in a single game is even rarer than a pitcher throwing a perfect game, which has been done 24 times in MLB history.
