The Dodgers have four hitters with 25 home runs for just the fourth time in franchise history.
Joc Pederson‘s two-run home run Wednesday against the San Diego Padres gave the center fielder 25 this season. He joins teammates Justin Turner (27), Yasmani Grandal (27) and Corey Seager (25) in the exclusive club.
It’s the first time the Dodgers have had four 25-home run hitters since 1997, when Eric Karros, Raul Mondesi, Mike Piazza and Todd Zeile achieved the milestone.
Dusty Baker, Ron Cey, Steve Garvey and Reggie Smith achieved the feat in 1977. Roy Campanella, Carl Furillo, Gil Hodges and Duke Snider did so in 1955.
Pederson and Snider have something in common, too:

Pederson and Duke Snider are only players in Dodgers history with 2 25-HR seasons before turning 25.
