One-Hitter with a Home Run

The Guardians nearly ended their 44-year no-hitter drought as came within two outs of a no-hitter before Juan Soto ended the bid with a home run.

Instead, it’s the seventh time in team history Cleveland has pitched a one-hitter with that one hit being a homer.

Lowrie’s homer off Hagadone also came with one out in the 9th.

Opening Day Shutout

The Guardians pitched the 12th Opening Day shutout in franchise history on Thursday in Oakland.

 

OPS vs No. 3 Hitters

Considering the era in which he played, Corey Kluber‘s appearance on this list is remarkable.

Lowest OPS allowed to No. 3 hitters (min. 100 batters faced):

The No. 3 hitters with the most plate appearances against Kluber that year:

  • Miguel Cabrera, 13
  • Eric Hosmer, 9
  • Mike Trout, 7
  • Evan Longoria, 7

Trout was the only No.3 hitter to homer off Kluber that year.

In total, No. 3 hitters batted .149 with a .206 OBP against Kluber in 2016.
