The Los Angeles Dodgers did something they have never accomplished before, hitting 55 home runs as a team during a single calendar month. Kiké Hernandez capped off the historic month with a blast off Colorado Rockies starter in Saturday’s 3-1 loss at Dodger Stadium.
With the month coming to close, the Dodgers fell just one home run shy of tying the National League record, 56, set by the Cincinnati Reds set in September/October of 1999. They fell just three short of the Major League record, 58, set by the Baltimore Orioles in May of 1987 and the Seattle Mariners in May of 1999.
