A\'s Hit Eight HRs Against Phillies, Most By A Team Since 1999 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Mon Jul 15, 2024 1:41 pm

The Oakland Athletics hit eight home runs in Sunday\'s 18-3 rout of the Philadelphia Phillies, the most homers in a game by any one MLB team in 25 years.

Lawrence Butler accounted for three of them while Brent Rooker and Seth Brown each had two.

The last team to hit at least eight home runs in a game was the Cincinnati Reds in September of 1999, when they hit nine against the Phillies.

The MLB record is 10 home runs, set by the Toronto Blue Jays in 1987.
