The Philadelphia Phillies made franchise history Wednesday night, with Edmundo Sosa’s three home runs leading the charge. In a dominant 11-1 win over the Miami Marlins at Citizens Bank Park, the team launched eight homers, setting a new franchise record for home runs in a single game.
Sosa , fresh off a 12-day stint on the injured list, erupted for three home runs, marking the first multi-homer game of his career and the first time a Phillies shortstop has achieved the feat. His third blast came in the seventh inning and sealed the historic mark.
The MLB took to its official X (formerly known as Twitter) account to highlight the moment with a clip of Sosa’s final homer.
