Orioles Become Third Team To Hit 60 HRs In A Month 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Mon Jul 1, 2024 12:22 pm

The Baltimore Orioles are the third team in Major League Baseball history to hit at least 60 home runs in a month.

The club hit 60 with Heston Kjerstad\'s grand slam against the Texas Rangers on Saturday night.

The only other MLB teams to ever clear the 60-homer threshold in a single month were the 2023 Atlanta Braves (61 in June) and the 2019 New York Yankees (74 in August). 

Those Braves went on to tie the 2019 Minnesota Twins for the most home runs hit in a season (307); those Yankees, meanwhile, hit what\'s now the third-most home runs by a team in a season, at 306. 

The Orioles are currently on pace for 271 home runs this season.
