idk, i don't think there are that many big league relievers who were never starters in college/low minors
even sergio romo was a starter for a year or two

meanwhile
The Mariners have homered in 59 of their 70 games this season and the opposing team has homered in the other 11 games.The 70 straight games with a homer by at least one team is longest streak in MLB history, breaking mark of 69 by 1985 Orioles, 2017 White Sox & 2017 Rangers).— Greg Johns (@GregJohnsMLB) June 12, 2019

rangers prospect jonathan hernandez has made 11 starts for double-a frisco this season; he's given up a homer on his first pitch in four of them
he's allowed only four other homers in 59 innings

Shohei Ohtani became the first Japanese-born player to hit for the cycle in major league history.
And I remind you that nothing is more trivial than a cycle.

You'd think that in 2005 either Ichiro or Dave Roberts would have chanced upon a cycle but no:
year/player: singles/doubles/triples/HRs2005 Ichiro: 158/21/12/152005 Roberts: 76/19/10/82019 Otani: 23/2/1/8
Pretty wild that Otani only has 2 doubles on the year...

a trio of met greats
Rays threw 57 pitches to Yankees in the 1st inning today. But wow @StatsBySTATS found that the record since 1988 (when pitch-by-pitch data started) is 99! Rangers scored 16 runs against the Orioles in the 8th on 4/19/96 (Armando Benitez, Jesse Orosco & infielder Manny Alexander).— James Smyth (@JamesSmyth621) June 19, 2019

#Orioles' Hanser Alberto entered today with the fourth-best batting average in the American League, but he was outslugging only one of the league's other top 50 hitters. Guess which one? Miguel Cabrera. (h/t @JoeTrezz)— Nathan Ruiz (@NathanSRuiz) June 26, 2019

From @EliasSports: Over his last 10 games, DJ LeMahieu is batting .537 (22 for 41) with 16 runs scored and 18 RBIs. LeMahieu is the first Yankees player since Mickey Mantle in May 1955 to have at least a .500 batting average, 15 runs and 15 RBIs over a 10-game span.— Buster Olney (@Buster_ESPN) June 30, 2019

Per SNY, since 1935, only Wade Boggs and Joe DiMaggio had more hits in their first 500 official MLB at-bats than Jeff McNeil. And he would have tied Joe D. if not for that Urshela play.— Peter Botte (@PeterBotte) July 4, 2019

Has a team ever batted around twice or more in one inning? If so, has anyone ever made all three outs in one inning? (I'm watching the CHC-PIT game on too little sleep and these things come to me.)

it never even occurred to me that it might be the pirates who were doing the batting around

This is the second time in franchise history the Rays have hit back-to-back HR to start a game. The other time was June 15, 1998, when Quinton McCracken and Wade Boggs went deep off the Blue Jays' Woody Williams to start a game in Tampa.— Sarah Langs (@SlangsOnSports) July 18, 2019

Nelson Cruz has three home runs today for the second time in his past eight games or something. Is that a record?
he won't make the HOF but he's a beast.

I'd argue 6 games as he was benched during the NL-rules Marlins series.

the juiced ball is starting to give me some sympathy for the PED-era HR champs. if MLB itself is going to shatter the record books by juicing, that kind of makes mark mcgwire a.... pioneer?
