5 Players with a HR at Home

May 18, 2026

The Guardians hit six home runs in Sunday’s win over the Reds by five different players.

It was just the sixth time since moving into Jacobs Field in 1994 that the team had five different players homer in the same game:

Catchers with Double and Triple

June 26, 2024

Bo Naylor collected a double and a triple last night at Baltimore. His triple was the first by a Cleveland catcher since in July 2019 at Kansas City.

In his final at bat last night, Bo Naylor struck out against Diamondbacks infielder Josh Rojas.

He’s the 14th Cleveland hitter to strike out against a position player over the last 50 seasons joining:

Martinez’s inclusion gets an asterisk because it was an add situation.

With the Indians leading the A’s 10-2 in the bottom of the 8th, Martinez fouled off a pitch against A’s pitcher Kelly Downs, who then began shouting at Martinez because he swung “too hard.”

Martinez shouted back and both players were ejected with the count at 2-2.

A’s manager Tony La Russa brought third baseman Kevin Seitzer in to pitch, and called upon , who took the only pitch he saw for a strike, resulting in a strikeout.

Some odd rules apply to this situation, which officially result in Seitzer getting credit for a strikeout of Martinez, even though they never actually faced each other.

It’s also worth mentioning Naylor’s strikeout occurred before collecting his first career hit. While I can’t confirm this, it’s reasonable to guess he may be the first player in MLB history to strike out against a position player before recording a hit.
