And I heard the announcer say against 4 different pitchers! MLAA Sep 2017 #1

Not a record. It's been done before by Willie Mays and a few others. brush Sep 2017 #2

Against 4 different pitchers? In the ole days they didn't change pitchers every 5 mins 😬 MLAA Sep 2017 #3

The record is four homeruns. Turns out hitting them against 4 different pitchers has also been done. brush Sep 2017 #4

That has to be a MLB record! I am a D-Backs fan (I am from Tucson) and a GaTech fan (my alma mater)....so I am flipping back and forth between the games.

By sluggers from Mays' era.

Warren Spahn pitched the ball which Gil Hodges hit for the first of his four, the only Hall of Fame pitcher faced during a four-home-run game.[1] Hodges and Adcock are the only players to hit home runs against four different pitchers in one game. Lowe and Delahanty, on the other hand, are the only players to hit four home runs in one game against just one pitcher: Ice Box Chamberlain and Adonis Terry respectively.

It was also done earlier this year in May.
