Toronto Blue Jays top prospect has historic day at the plate

Will Robertson's historic day at the plate, homering in his first three at-bats on Tuesday night, propelled the Buffalo Bisons to an 8-5 victory over the Syracuse Mets on Tuesday night.

He became the first Bisons since Brett Wallace to hit three home runs in a game. Wallace's three home run game came on August 14, 2014 against the Pawtucket Red Sox.

Robertson's first home run of the game came with two outs in the top of the first inning off of Syracuse starter Frankie Montas.

In the third inning, with Riley Tirotta on first, Robertson hit his second home run of the night, closing the gap between the two teams to one run.

The game-tying run would come in the next at-bat when Orelvis Martinez would hit a solo home run to tie the game at 4-4.

The Bisons would continue the offense in the top of fifth inning. Robertson hit his third home run of the game, this time to left-center field for his fourth RBI of the night. The home run that gave Buffalo a 5-4 lead was the last batter Montas would face before left-hander Colin Poche took over.

Martinez would follow this up with a home run of his own, his second, to give the Bisons a 6-4 lead.

He and Robertson went back-to-back twice on the night. Entering the game, Buffalo previously had two games in which batters hit back-to-back home runs.

In the ninth inning, Robertson and Martinez's great days at the plate would continue as both added insurance runs that extended the Bisons advantage to 8-5.

Robertson ended the night with four hits, including a double and three home runs and adding five RBIs in the victory. He now leads the team with 10 home runs this season and 31 RBIs.
