Trevor Story of the Rockies sets a new National League rookie mark with his 9th homer of April, breaking the record of 8 set by Albert Pujols in 2001; he is still one shy of the major league mark of 10, set by Jose Abreu in 2014. Colorado loses the game, though, 9 – 8 to the Pirates in 12 innings. Story will tie Abreu’s mark with another long ball on April 29th.
