Mike Zunino’s XBH

Mike Zunino collected two doubles and a home run in Sunday’s win over the Mariners. It was just the 32nd time in franchise history a catcher produced three extra-base hits.

Prior to Zunino, it hadn’t been done since Carlos Santana in 2013 at Tampa Bay.

Only two catchers have ever produced more than three:

Kelly Shoppach: five (two HR, three 2B) vs Detroit in 2008
Sandy Alomar Jr.: four (four 2B) at Boston in 1997
