Rafael Palmerio became the first player in league history to hit three HR's in a single-game, all solo HR's off three different pitchers, as Palmerio was locked in. George Foster hit 2 HR's for the Reds; a total of 7 HR's in the game by both teams (Rangers had 5 of them). Foster, who had the day off in Game #7, due to his struggles at the plate got his first runs, HR's & RBI's of the season in this series finale.
Palmerio, now is tied with Jorge Posada for the league lead in HR's with 6.
