History was made on Wednesday night, as Major League Baseball's single-season home run record fell.
Prior to the 2019 regular season, the most home runs teams had combined to hit in a single season was 6,105, a feat accomplished in 2017. Baseballs have been flying out of stadiums across the league all season long, and with that, the bar has been raised.
In the bottom of the seventh inning of Wednesday night's game, Baltimore Orioles shortstop Jonathan Villar took Los Angeles Dodgers reliever Caleb Ferguson deep to left. Not only did the three-run shot give the Orioles a 5-2 lead, but it was the 6,106th dinger hit in Major League Baseball this season.
