PHOENIX — Arizona Diamondbacks slugger Eugenio Suárez has had an all-or-nothing type of season.

It’s safe to say that his performance Saturday night falls squarely into the “all” category.

Suárez became the 19th player in Major League Baseball history to hit four homers in a single game, accomplishing the feat in an 8-7 loss to the Atlanta Braves in 10 innings. The third baseman is the first player in the big leagues to do so since J.D. Martinez — also for the D-backs — in 2017.

“What can I say? Obviously, it’s awesome,” Suárez said. “I never thought in my life that I would be able to hit four homers in a game.”

Suárez entered the contest batting .167 with six homers and 15 RBIs. After Saturday’s performance, he has 19 hits, including a league-best 10 homers.

The 33-year-old Suárez hit a solo shot in the second inning, a two-run homer in the fourth and two more solo homers, in the sixth and the ninth, to finish with five RBIs.

His fourth homer off Braves closer Raisel Iglesias tied the score at 7 as the home crowd of more than 43,000 at Chase Field roared. D-backs manager Torey Lovullo admitted he “couldn’t believe” Suárez had done it again.

“I thought there’s no way he goes deep. When does that happen?” Lovullo said. “It’s like a fairy tale. When it happened, I just was shaking my head. I couldn’t believe it. He turned around a pretty good pitch.

“It’s one of those magical nights. It’s hard to describe.”

The four baseballs traveled a combined 1,655 feet, with the longest being a 443-foot shot to center for his third home run. The first three homers came off Grant Holmes.

Suárez became the second third baseman with a four-home-run game, joining ex-Philadelphia Phillies great Mike Schmidt (April 17, 1976, at the Chicago Cubs). Suárez previously had two three-HR games (July 30, 2024, with the Diamondbacks, and Sept. 5, 2020, as a member of the Cincinnati Reds).

Overall, there have been more perfect games in MLB history (24) than four-home-run games.

The Braves rallied in the 10th to win after Matt Olson scored on a wild pitch. Arizona became the second team to lose a game in which a player hit four home runs, joining the Braves in 1986, who lost in Bob Horner’s four-homer game, and the Phillies in 1896, who lost to the Chicago Colts.

“Mixed feelings right now because we didn’t win the game,” Suárez said. “But this is baseball; that’s why this game is so special. I just want to glorify God with this for the game today. It’s a gift, and I don’t take it for granted.”

The Venezuelan-born veteran has hit 286 homers over a 12-year career with the Detroit Tigers, Reds, Seattle Mariners and Diamondbacks.
