The Nationals need a 4th triple to tie the NL record for Most Triples in a Single Game, which has stood since 1897! The AL record is only 3, so no one ever had that many in this city. I guess it's too late now...

Record Lg Name(s) Team(s) Data
Most In A Game
AA George Strief - Philadelphia 4, 06-25-1885
AL Too Many To List - 3
NL Bill Joyce - New York - 4, 05-18-1897
That was one guy that had 4 triples in a game. Is that the team record also?
Good catch - that was individual records. We are not even close:
Most In A Game By One Team is 9 (nine). The AL record is only 6.
NL Bal (vs Cle) 9, 09-03-1894
I remember reading about Baltimore baseball history, but I don't remember what became of the Baltimore team that was playing in 1894.
