He did it again.
Chase DeLauter‘s first-inning home run off Seattle’s George Kirby was his third through two games — the first two regular-season contests of his career.
He’s just the third player in MLB history with three home runs through his first two regular season games, joining:
- 2016 Trevor Story, Rockies
- 1954 Joe Cunningham, Cardinals
DeLauter is also the first player in franchise history with three home runs through the team’s first two games of the season.
Only 15 players had previously hit two home runs through the first two games, most recently Grady Sizemore in 2007.
DeLauter’s 13 total bases through the team’s first two games is also a franchise record, breaking the mark of 12 previously shared by Sandy Alomar Jr. (1998), Al Smith (1955) and Dale Mitchell (1950).
It’s also the franchise record for the most total bases through two career games, breaking the record of 10 held by Manny Ramirez (1993), Jim Norris (1977), Roy Weatherly (1936) and Earl Averill (1929).
The only player in MLB history with more total bases through two games was Cincinnati’s Rece Hinds in 2024. DeLauter is one of just four with 13 or more and only 38 have reached double-digits.
