Home Run Happy Eugenio Suarez Bids To Set Reds Record And Help Mates Bash Team Mark






Home run records are falling like a drunk on skates in the Major Leagues this season.

There have been 11 teams that have eclipsed their own club record this season with. the New York Yankees already setting the MLB record with 295 home runs.   The Los Angeles Dodgers hit a National League record 264,

The Reds or Red Sox could make it 13 teams to set a home run record this season.  The Boston Red Sox have 236 with eight games left to beat their record of 236 set in 2003.  The Reds have seven game to hit four to add to their current 219 to exceed 222.

Eugenio Suarez has 48 home runs the most by a player born in Venezuela passing his boyhood idol, Andres Galarraga, who hit 47 in 1996,  Suarez needs four to set the team record.  Ted Kluszewski hit 49 in 1954 and George Foster cleared the fences with 52 long balls in 1977.  Suarez trails the Mets' Pete Alonso by two home runs in a race to become the first Reds' player to lead the Major Leagues since Foster in 1977.  He would be the seventh Reds' player to lead the National League.
