Washington Nationals third baseman Anthony Rendon went 6-for-6 with three home runs and 10 RBIs on Sunday against the New York Mets, becoming just the second player in Major League Baseball history to have a game that included six hits, three home runs and 10 RBIs.
Walker Cooper is the other player. He went 6-for-7 with three home runs and 10 RBIs for the Cincinnati Reds against the Chicago Cubs on July 6, 1949.
"I may have had three home runs in high school," Rendon said of his historic game, "but never like that with the RBI."
Rendon is just the fourth player in the modern era (since 1900) to go 6-for-6 and have at least three home runs in a single game, joining Ty Cobb (for the Tigers on May 5, 1925), Edgardo Alfonzo (for the Mets on Aug. 30, 1999) and Shawn Green (for the Dodgers on May 23, 2002). Green hit four home runs in his 6-for-6 game.
Rendon became the 13th player in major league history to drive in 10 or more in a game and the first since Garret Anderson did it for the Los Angeles Angels in 2007.
