Should the Dodgers continue their current pace, then they'll finish the season with 1,296 home runs, a slight improvement on the 235 they hit in 2018 and a handful more than the MLB-record 267 hit by the Yankees in 2018.
Corny sample size jokes aside, the Dodgers submitted an incredible power display on Thursday, smashing an opening-day record eight homers in a 12-5 shellacking of the Diamondbacks. It was the most home runs the team had hit in a game since May 23, 2002, when Shawn Green hit four homers against the Brewers and his teammates provided four more in a 15-3 win in Milwaukee.
