Though it's yet unknown who will win Game 3 of the World Series at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, the Toronto Blue Jays will leave the contest with a major milestone regardless of who breaks the 4-4 score thanks to catcher Alejandro Kirk.
That's right, after hitting a three-run homer in the fourth inning to give Toronto a lead, the Blue Jays have officially become the 16th team in MLB history to have multiple players hit five or more home runs in a postseason, a mark unique in franchise history, according to MLB.com's Sarah Langs.
“This is the 16th time a team has had multiple players with 5+ home runs in a single postseason,” Langs wrote. “First time the Blue Jays have done so. Before 2025, they’d never had a player with more than 4 in a PS.”
Kirk's home run, which gave him five this month, officially secured him a spot in the five-homer club alongside Vladimir Guerrero Jr., with George Springer following close behind with four, and the duo of Daulton Varsho and Addison Barger following close behind at three. The Dodgers, to their credit, are no slouches in the home run department either, with Shohei Ohtani leading the team at seven and Teoscar Hernández at five, adding LA to that very same club with his own Game 3 moon shot.
Will the Blue Jays add even more members to their exclusive club, making even more Toronto baseball history along the way? It's hard to say, but with plenty more bites at that apple before the Fall Classic comes to an end, it's safe to say they'll give it the old college try.
