Fans of the 2016 Braves would probably say that if there was ever a team that could have a player hit four homers in a game and still lose, it would be the current Atlanta nine.
Fans of the 1986 Braves probably thought the same thing — but they actually got to experience it.
It was 30 years ago today — July 6, 1986 — that Braves slugger Bob Horner clubbed four home runs in an 11-8 home loss to the Expos. Horner was the 11th player in history to accomplish the four-homer feat, but he’s still the only player in the modern era to touch ‘em all four times in one game and still have his team come up short.
