On Friday night, the Giants hit five home runs in a single game for the first time since 2014. It’s been a while, but five-homer games are still something of a rarity. Since 1908, the Giants have played in 82 games where they’ve hit five home runs or more. These are supposed to be games that only happen once every few years. Never mind that the Minnesota Twins have seven games like that this year.
It’s worth looking at the most recent games where the Giants have hit five homers or more. There have only been four others in the last decade.
