Hitting Them Together

Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo both went deep for the Cubs Saturday in a 17-2 rout of the Phillies. In their three seasons together, that’s the 16th time the two went deep in the same game. That ranks decently high in that time period:

Teammates hitting home runs in the same game, 2015-2017
Team Mates HR Same Game
Manny Machado & Chris Davis 23
Chris Davis & Adam Jones 22
Justin Smoak & Josh Donaldson 20
Mike Trout & Albert Pujols 17
Kyle Seager & Nelson Cruz 17
Kris Bryant & Anthony Rizzo 16
Manny Machado & Mark Trumbo 16
Jonathan Schoop & Adam Jones 15
Adam Duvall & Joey Votto 15
Chris Davis & Mark Trumbo 15
Robinson Cano & Nelson Cruz 15
Nolan Arenado & Carlos Gonzalez 15

The Orioles dominate the list, which is unsurprising as power is their chief weapon. In the 21st century, 2001 on, the Albert Pujols era, Pujols and Jim Edmonds went deep together the most, 52 times, with Ryan Howard and Chase Utley a close second at 51. Brizzo has a way to go to catch them.
