Pablo Sandoval: Nine Times Three
The nine post-season three-home run games.
Pablo Sandoval: Nine Times Three
Bob Vetrone Jr.
Pabdo Sandoval's three-home run game Wednesday was the ninth in baseball's postseason history (see full list below) and the third over the last two postseasons (72 games). Before that (1903-2010), there had been just six in 1,293 postseason games.
Notable:
♦ Sandoval's performance was the first of those nine in Game 1 of a series.
♦ His 12 regular season homers are the third fewest among the nine that have done so (see RS).
♦ Only one of the nine came in a loss (George Brett in 1978).
♦ The Giants now join the Yankees and Rangers as teams to have and allow a postseason three-homer game.

Third hit off of Alberquerque was filthy. Low and away.
Let's hope Pandy-man doesn't show up for Games 2 through 7.— 24sDad
