Padres shortstop Xander Bogaerts made baseball history Saturday night in Mexico City by becoming the first major league player to hit a home run in four different countries.
Following his fourth-inning blast off San Francisco’s Jakob Junis, Bogaerts now has homered in the United States, England, Canada and Mexico. The talented hitter surpassed Tony Clark and Michael Brantley, who each homered in three countries.
It’s fitting that Bogaerts made international baseball history in Mexico City, with its elevation of 7,200 feet above sea level.

With the NFL Draft in the rearview mirror, now is the time to begin the direction (vivisection? I don’t know I studied communications) of each team’s draft. A first glance at what the Cowboys did had many wondering if the Ezekiel Elliott era had drawn to a close.
That’s because the team selected Kansas State running back Deuce Vaughn in the sixth round. His selection caused quite the emotional scene given his old man is one of the team’s scouts. However, he brings with him a solid collegiate resume.
He’s the Wildcats leader in catches and receiving yards among running backs.

Pirates infielder Drew Maggi is one of the most heartwarming stories baseball stories in recent memory, as he spent 13 years in the minor leagues before finally getting his first taste of big-league action earlier in April.
On Saturday, the 33-year-old made a pinch-hit appearance for Pittsburgh during the second game of their doubleheader against the Nationals in Washington.
During the seventh inning, Maggi recorded his first MLB hit, an RBI single to center field.
