May 8, 2021 On this date in Texas Rangers history, Josh Hamilton became the first player wearing a Rangers uniform to hit four home runs in a single game. That moment came on May 8, 2012, at Camden Yards in Baltimore, Maryland, against the Baltimore Orioles. All four of Hamilton’s home runs were of the two-run variety. He started the run with a pair of 2-run shots off starter Jake Arietta in the first and third innings. After that, Hamilton hit another off of reliever Zach Phillips in the seventh inning. Then, in the eighth inning, Hamilton set the Rangers record for most home runs in a game with a two-run shot off Darren O’Day.
