Baltimore's Jonathan Villar hit a three-run homer in the bottom of the seventh inning Wednesday night, the 6,106th homer of the season, setting a new MLB single-season record.
The previous mark was set in 2017. Prior to that season, the mark stood at 5,693 homers in 2000.
In this season of the home run, 16 teams are on a pace to set a new franchise record. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, 12 teams set the record for their franchise in 2000. Five teams -- the Dodgers, Twins, Yankees, Padres and Astros -- have already set their franchise mark this season.
