Cleveland Indians beat Chicago White Sox 12-11
The amazing story behind the first woman hired as an MLB announcer for the Chicago White Sox
Josh Levin, Slate’s national editor and host of the podcast 'One Year,' talks about Mary Shane, the little-known story of the first woman hired as a legitimate major-league baseball announcer for the Chicago White Sox.
White Sox rookie Seby Zavala hit the first three home runs of his career, including a grand slam, but the Cleveland Indians rallied to beat Chicago 12-11.
Austin Hedges, Owen Miller and Amed Rosario homered to help Cleveland overcome a five-run deficit.
Zavala became the first player in big league history to hit his first three career home runs in the same game, according to Elias Sports Bureau.
The 27-year-old catcher played his 18th game in the majors. Batting ninth, Zavala hit a solo homer in the third, a grand slam in the fourth and a solo drive in the seventh.
With a chance to become the 19th player to hit a record-tying four homers in a game, Zavala singled in the eighth.
