MLB sets new single-month home run record with 1,120 homers hit in May [View all]
It’s been a wild month in Major League Baseball, from the 300th no-hitter in MLB history to a new single-month home run record. Blue Jays slugger Vladimir Guerrero Jr. helped shatter the latter record on Friday, launching a 436-footer off of a Chris Rusin fastball for the 1,120th major-league home run of the month.
Following Guerrero’s record-setting homer, MLB hitters put up an additional 15 home runs to boost the record to 1,135 on the month. Per Sarah Langs of MLB.com, that’s 16 more home runs than the previous mark reached in August 2017 (1,119) and 34 more than the record in June 2017 (1,101).
