List of Major League Baseball single-game hits leaders These games have resulted in other single-game MLB records being set due to the stellar offensive performance. Shawn Green, for example, established a new major league record with 19Â total bases and finished with a total of five extra-base hits,[6] tying a National League record that was also achieved by Larry Twitchell during the latter's six-hit game.[7] Four of Green's six hits were home runs, equaling the record for most home runs in one game.[6] Jim Bottomley, Walker Cooper, Anthony Rendon, and Wilbert Robinson hit 10 or more runs batted in (RBI) to complement their six hits.[8][9][10][11] Robinson proceeded to collect a seventh hit to set single-game records in both categories.[8] Although his record of 11 RBIs has since been broken, Robinson's seven hits in a nine-inning game has been matched only by Rennie Stennett.[12]
