Stat Of The Night: Solo Shot Success

Stay connected for news and updates

Rickie Weeks, Ryan Braun and Prince Fielder didn't have much help from their offensive teammates tonight, but they led the Brewers to a win anyway with one solo home run each. This was the sixth time in franchise history where the Brewers have won a game while scoring three or more runs, all on solo home runs:

Date Opponent HR Final Score
9/2/2002 Cubs 4 4-2
7/23/1989 Twins 4 4-1
Tonight Reds 3 3-2
7/30/2000 Rockies 3 3-2
6/18/1976 Athletics 3 3-2
4/20/1974 Tigers 3 3-1

The 1989 game featured home runs from four different batters: Glenn Braggs, Robin Yount, Rob Deer and Greg Brock. The 2000 game might have been the most unlikely: Geoff Jenkins, Jeromy Burnitz and pitcher Jeff D'Amico hit the homers. 

The 2002 game might be the most interesting, though: It was game one of a doubleheader. The Brewers also hit three home runs in the second game, but lost 17-4.
