Who was the first Dodger to hit 4 HRs in one game?

Gil Hodges was the first Dodger to hit 4 home runs in a single game.

Quick Scoop

In franchise history, the Dodgers have had only two players ever hit four home runs in one game, and Gil Hodges was the first to do it. He accomplished the feat for the Brooklyn Dodgers against the Boston Braves on August 31, 1950, at Ebbets Field, going 5-for-6 with nine runs batted in. Later, Shawn Green matched the achievement for the Los Angeles Dodgers on May 23, 2002, against the Milwaukee Brewers, making him the second Dodger to hit four homers in a game, but Hodges remains the original name in team lore for this rare power outburst.
