LOS ANGELES — Hall of Famers Willie Mays, Lou Gehrig and Mike Schmidt did it. So did All-Star sluggers Josh Hamilton, Carlos Delgado and Gil Hodges.
Add J.D. Martinez's name to the list of players with four home runs in a game.
Martinez's power show tied a major league record and jolted Dodger Stadium on a warm, unusually muggy Monday night. He struck out his first time up for Arizona, and then connected four times in a row in the Diamondbacks' 13-0 victory, including the seventh, eighth and ninth innings.
"It's one of those things where, when you work really hard, you kind of just find that perfect swing," the Cuban outfielder said.
