Mike Zunino’s XBH

April 3, 2023

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

Brothers in the Lineup

October 3, 2022

Bo Naylor and Josh Naylor were each in the Guardians lineup last night for the first time.

They’re the fourth pair of brothers to appear in the same game for Cleveland joining:

Sandy and Robbie Alomar (1999-00)
Joe and Luke Sewell (1921-30)
Bill and Harry Hinchman (1907)

Pitchers Gaylord and Jim Perry were also on the Indians during the 1974 and 1975 seasons, but never appeared in the same game.

Dave and Vean Gregg were also briefly teammates in 1913, though Dave appeared in just one game.
