Choi Hee-seop is the first US Major League Baseball player to hit homers in three straight attempts since 2002.

The Los Angeles Dodger on Sunday connected for three home runs in a 4-3 win against the visiting Minnesota Twins.

Calling it his best game ever, Choi connected on the first pitch in all three of his blasts, registering 12 homers for the season. He hit them in the first, fourth and sixth innings.

His hot streak includes six homers and seven runs batted in over his last three games with a season batting average of .263.
