Diamondbacks Make MLB Postseason History With Four Home Runs in One Inning vs. Dodgers

The Diamondbacks made MLB postseason history during Game 3 of the NLDS vs. the Dodgers on Wednesday night by hitting four home runs in the same inning, a feat that had never been accomplished. Even more bizarre was that they all came off the same pitcher, Los Angeles starter Lance Lynn, whose 44 home runs allowed were the most anyone served up during the regular season.

Shortstop Geraldo Perdomo started the barrage in the bottom of the third with a 383-foot home run. Two batters later, second baseman Ketel Marte crushed a 428-foot homer, the longest of the four. Another two batters later, first baseman Christian Walker added to the tally with a 395-foot blast. Catcher Gabriel Moreno completed the historic inning by smashing a 420-foot homer to give the Diamondbacks a 4–0 lead.

As expected, Chase Field was a mad house during the third inning. Here’s a fan’s perspective.

After Moreno’s homer, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts mercifully took Lynn out of the game, leaving the 36-year-old with a line of four runs and six hits allowed in 2 2/3 innings, with just one strikeouts.

The Dodgers will need to make quite the comeback in order to keep their season alive as the Diamondbacks lead the series 2–0.
