Episode Details

Joshua Báez rewrote the record books Saturday, becoming the first MLB player ever to hit three homers in his first three at-bats—yes, all in his debut with the St. Louis Cardinals. Called up hours before game time, he crushed a home run on the first pitch at Wrigley Field, then added two more to drive in five runs and lead the Cards to an 8-4 win. His historic night was backed by solo homers from Blaze Jordan and Alec Burleson, while Cubs’ Michael Conforto tied the game with a three-run shot. But Báez was simply unstoppable, launching homers in the 1st, 4th, and 6th innings to dominate pitcher Matthew Boyd, who surrendered all three. Cardinals starter Michael McGreevy earned the win with six strong innings and six strikeouts. The series concludes Sunday with Hunter Dobbins facing Edward Cabrera, returning from injury—after a whirlwind weekend, Báez’s magic is already etched in baseball lore.
