Jhonkensy Noel‘s belted Cleveland’s fourth pinch-hit go-ahead home run of the season on Saturday afternoon, setting a team record. Estevan Florial, Will Brennan and Bo Naylor hit the first three. 

The previous record of three was set in 1967 by Fred Whitfield (twice) and Lee Maye.

Noel is also just the sixth rookie in team history with a pinch-hit, go-ahead home run. The others:

• 2024 – Noel
• 2007 – Kelly Shoppach
• 1996 – Nigel Wilson
• 1966 – Bill Davis
• 1964 – Bob Chance
• 1958 – Carroll Hardy

Hardy, Davis and Wilson’s were their first career home runs. Hardy’s was a walk-off against Chicago’s 7-time All-Star pitcher Billy Pierce.

Davis’ home run was also a walk-off and the only home run of his career,
