BALTIMORE (AP) — Mookie Betts has hit a career-high three home runs for the Boston Red Sox against the Baltimore Orioles.
Betts homered leading off the game on Tuesday night. He added a three-run drive in the second inning and a bases-empty homer in the seventh.
The five RBIs tie a career high, set earlier this season.
Betts has 12 home runs, second-best on the team behind David Ortiz.
It's the first time a Boston player has hit three home runs in a game since Will Middlebrooks on April 7, 2013.
