The Cleveland Guardians are beginning the season with a 1-1 record against one of the two ALCS teams from a year ago in the Seattle Mariners .

One of the big reasons they won the first game of the year was Chase DeLauter hitting two home runs. And while they lost the second game against Seattle, DeLauter continued his home-run hitting prowess, launching his third HR in two games. As MLB researcher Sarah Langs shared on Twitter/x , DeLauter continues to make MLB history, joining only two other players since 1900 to hit three home runs in their first two games.

One is from the 1950's while the other is still active in the Majors. Chase DeLauter makes more MLB history in 2nd game "Chase DeLauter is the third player since at least 1900 with 3 home runs in his first two career regular season games, joining: 2016 Trevor Story (and) 1954 Joe Cunningham," Langs shared. This is some incredible history for DeLatuer to make.

Not only is he off to an incredibly hot start to his MLB career, but he's etching his name in MLB's long history with a rare feat. Trevor Story joined this history with the Colorado Rockies 10 years ago, and he was the first person since Cunningham over 60 years before to record three homers in his first two games. DeLauter is now the third player to begin their career on such a home-run streak.
