Entering the start of the 2026 season, the 30-year-old O’Neill had homered in six straight Opening Days. He set the mark in 2024 after breaking the record of four previously held by Todd Hundley (1994-97), Gary Carter (1977-80) and Yogi Berra (1955-58).

O’Neill, 30, is aiming for a bounce-back season after his first year with the Orioles was one to forget. After joining Baltimore on a three-year, $49.5 million deal ahead of last season, he was limited to only 54 games in 2025 due to three trips to the injured list.
