This includes a team record nine home runs in the win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Sunday. The new shape of the bats does not violate MLB rules as bats are required to be one piece of solid wood a smooth round stick with 2.61 inch diameter at the thickest part and a maximum of 42 inches in length. Experimental bats are allowed once the manufacturer has MLB approval.
