The Arizona Diamondbacks made history on October 4th, 2018 when they hit four home runs in one inning of their National League Division Series game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. This was the first time in Major League Baseball postseason history that a team had hit four home runs in one inning.
The Diamondbacks were trailing the Dodgers 4-0 in the bottom of the third inning when David Peralta hit a solo home run to get the team on the board. After a walk and a single, A.J. Pollock hit a three-run home run to give the Diamondbacks the lead. The next batter, Ketel Marte, then hit a solo home run to extend the lead to 6-4. Finally, with two outs, Eduardo Escobar hit a solo home run to make it 7-4.
The four home runs in one inning was an impressive feat, but the Diamondbacks weren’t done yet. They went on to score two more runs in the fourth inning and three more in the fifth inning to take a commanding 12-4 lead. The Dodgers managed to score two runs in the ninth inning, but it wasn’t enough as the Diamondbacks won 12-6.
The Diamondbacks’ four home runs in one inning was an impressive display of power and it helped them win the game. It was also a historic moment as it was the first time a team had hit four home runs in one inning in postseason history. The Diamondbacks will look to continue their success as they face the Milwaukee Brewers in the National League Championship Series.
