In the bottom of the first inning on Opening Day, Seattle leadoff hitter Brendan Donovan got things started with a home run off .

It’s just the second time in franchise history Cleveland’s Opening Day starter has allowed a home run to the first batter of the season.

In 1932, Detroit’s Roy Johnson led off the bottom off the first with a solo shot off . Cleveland would end up winning the game in 11 innings.

Naylors Homer in Same Game

July 15, 2023

Josh Naylor and Bo Naylor each homered off Rangers pitcher Jon Gray in the third inning last night. A few fun notes on the accomplishment:

  • 13th pair of brothers to homer in the same game as teammates
  • First pair of brothers to homer in same game for Cleveland
  • 5th pair of brothers to homer in the same inning as teammates

The most recent occurrences were B.J. and Justin Upton in 2013 and 2014 for the Braves. The Uptons homered in the same game six times and the same inning twice.

Cleveland has been involved in a same-game homer for brothers as opponents. In June 1972, Graig Nettles homered for Cleveland, while Jim Nettles homered for the Twins. And in July 1933, Wes Ferrell homered for Cleveland, while Rick Ferrell homered for the Red Sox (off of Wes) in the top and bottom half of the fourth inning.
