MLB history! Oakland A’s infield pulls off historic first

The Oakland A’s unleashed fury with their bats on Wednesday, in Game 3 of the 2020 ALDS against the Houston Astros.

The ball has been flying all week in the California heat at Dodger Stadium, and both teams have racked up home runs in bunches. Through three games they’ve already combined to swat 18 long balls.

The power display hit a new peak on Wednesday, though. Oakland hit five on their own, setting some franchise records along the way. It tied for the most homers the A’s have ever hit in a postseason game, with 1989 World Series Game 3.
