Josh Hamilton of the Texas Rangers belted four home runs on Tuesday night in Baltimore, just 17 days after Philip Humber of the Chicago White Sox tossed a perfect game in Seattle. The Rangers thumped the Orioles, 10-3, with Hamilton adding a double to set the American League\u2019s single-game record for total bases, with 18. He tied the major league record, set by Joe Adcock of the Milwaukee Braves in 1954.<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously it\u2019s, other than being in the World Series, the highlight of my big-league career,\u201d\u009d Hamilton told reporters in Baltimore. \u201cI was saying after I hit two, I\u2019ve never hit three in a game before, and what a blessing that was. Then to hit four is just an awesome feeling, to see how excited my teammates got.<\/p>\n
