July 21, 2026

In Monday’s win over Minnesota, and became the 29th pair of Cleveland teammates with a multi-homer game in the same contest.

Here’s the list:

Chase DeLauter’s “Debut”

March 27, 2026

Although he made his MLB debut in the postseason last year, had never appeared in a regular season contest until Opening Day in Seattle.

So his two homer game against the Mariners is the sixth in MLB history in a player’s first regular season appearance:

  • 2016 Trevor Story, Rockies
  • 2010 J.P. Arencibia, Blue Jays
  • 1999 Mark Quinn, Royals
  • 1964 Bert Campaneris, Athletics
  • 1951 , Browns

Story is the only other to do so on Opening Day. Nieman later played for Cleveland, hitting just two homers in 41 games in 1961 and 1962.

DeLauter also become just the fourth player in franchise history with two homers on Opening Day, joining this list:

DeLauter is also the 17th youngest player in MLB history with two homers on Opening Day (24 years, 170 days).

Tyler Soderstrom of the A’s (23 years, 123 days) was the last to do so at a younger age, last year. The youngest is Bryce Harper (20 years, 167 days).
