At Miller Park, Shawn Green of the Los Angeles Dodgers becomes the 14th man in major league history to hit four home runs in a game and also sets a big league record with 19 total bases. Green goes 6 for 6, scores six runs (both franchise records), and has seven RBI in a 16 – 3 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers. Green is the second player this year to hit four home runs in a game. He also surpasses Joe Adcock’s former mark of 18 total bases, set in 1954. Green also is the first major league player to collect six hits while hitting four homers, and his four homers plus a double tie the National League mark for extra-base hits.
