ONeill Near Historic Feat After Three Homers in Five at Bats
Paul ONeill fueled the New York Yankees to an 11-6 win over the Angels with three home runs in five at bats and eight RBIs, lifting his slump and placing him one swing from a four homer game. He hit a three run shot in the first and second innings and added a solo homer in the fifth, while also contributing an RBI single in the sixth before striking out in the eighth. It would have made him the first American Leaguer to hit four homers in a game since 1959, with the last players achieving the feat in 1993.
