Arizona Diamondbacks' Josh Rojas goes deep 3 times vs. Chicago Cubs in career first

CHICAGO -- Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Josh Rojas, who had yet to record a home run this season, hit three of them Friday afternoon against the Chicago Cubs, becoming the 13th player in team history to accomplish the feat.

It was the first three-homer game of Rojas' career. He is the fourth player to go deep three times in a game this season, joining Boston's Trevor Story, the New York Yankees' Anthony Rizzo and Toronto's Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

Rojas, 28, homered off Cubs starter Kyle Hendricks in the third and fifth innings, then hit one off reliever Mychal Givens in the seventh inning.
