Thome slugged No. 583 in the third inning and No. 584 in the fourth, a three-run blast. He also walked twice and scored three times. The 40-year-old Thome now has 20 homers in just 237 at-bats this season, posting an incredible 998 OPS. There's a good chance he still has enough time to move into eighth place on the all-time list this season. Frank Robinson has 586 career home runs.
