Tanner Bibee Gives up 5 HR

May 26, 2026

The Nationals helped tie a franchise record on Monday night, belting five home runs off Cleveland’s starter.

Bibee joins (2022 vs CHW), (1969 at BOS) and (1962 vs MIN) as the only players in franchise history to allow five home runs in a single game.

It was also the second time Bibee has allowed four homers in a game.

Rookie Starters

February 22, 2023

Over the last 40 seasons, only two Cleveland rookies have started at least 15 games while posting an ERA under 3.50: Cody Anderson in 2015 and T.J. House in 2014.

It’s odd that such a list would feature such irrelevant players, as neither had much hype as prospects or did much beyond their rookie years.

Here’s a few others who accomplished the feat, dating back to 1955 (it was slightly more common before then):

1975 – Dennis Eckersley
1972 – Dick Tidrow
1964 – Luis Tiant
1958 – Gary Bell
1955 – Herb Score
