Nick Kurtz Blasts Four Homers in Historic Night
Nick Kurtz posted one of the best offensive performances in baseball history in a 15-3 thrashing of the Houston Astros on Friday. The burgeoning star finished a jaw-dropping 6-for-6 with four homers, a double, eight RBI, and six runs scored to continue an incredible month at the plate. Now the 20th player to swat four homers in a game and the first rookie to ever accomplish the feat, the 22-year-old has gone 31-for-73 (.425) with 11 long balls, 27 RBI, and 22 runs across 19 games in July. With a .305/.374/.686 line, 23 HRs, 59 RBI, and 45 runs over 271 plate appearances this season, Kurtz has established himself as the favorite for AL Rookie of the Year just 12 months removed from going fourth overall in the 2024 draft.
