Iván Herrera has become the first catcher in the St. Louis Cardinals' 123-year history to hit three homers in a game.

Iván Herrera on Wednesday became the first catcher in St. Louis Cardinals franchise history to hit three home runs in a game. In all, the 24-year-old Herrera went 3 for 4 with a walk, six RBI, and three runs scored in the Cardinals' 12-5 win over the Los Angeles Angels in the series finale at Busch Stadium.

Herrera’s three-homer day propelled the St. Louis Cardinals to a 12-5 win over the Angels, wrapping up a 4-2 homestand that manager Oli Marmol described as “aggressive” and “a good way to play the game.”
