Báez Aims for History Again | St. Louis Cardinals News

Joshua Báez didn’t just make noise—he shattered history with three home runs in his MLB debut, becoming the first player ever to hit homers in his first three plate appearances. Now, he’s back in the spotlight as the Cardinals aim to sweep their rivals, the Cubs, with another shot at historic stats. Already tied for the lead in most homers by a rookie in first two games, Báez could become the first to hit four in a single series. His explosive performance reignited the Cardinals’ offense, helping them snap a losing streak and stay alive in the wild card race—just 3.5 games behind the division-leading Cubs, who’ve been on fire since the All-Star break. With Hunter Dobbins on the mound against a potent Cubs lineup led by Pete Crow-Armstrong, and teammates Alec Burleson and Blaze Jordan also contributing homers, all eyes are on Báez to keep the momentum rolling—and maybe even rewrite the record books again.
