Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong made history last week, and Seattle Mariners slugger Randy Arozarena just matched him in incredible fashion.<\/p>\n
Cubs fans were surely delighted last week when Crow-Armstrong became just the second player in MLB history to hit a lead-off home run on the first pitch he saw and a walk-off home run in the same game, joining Vic Power in that exclusive club.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s more, Crow-Armstrong led off the following game against the White Sox with a home run, giving Cubs fans quite a thrill.<\/p>\n
Arozarena saw that feat and decided he wanted a piece of the action.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, Arozarena became the third player in MLB history to pull off the unique feat, hitting a lead-off home run on the first pitch he saw and then clobbering a pitch from Cubs closer Jacob Webb to secure a stunning win for the Mariners over Chicago.<\/p>\n
On Sunday, Shota Imanaga threw a 2-2 pitch to Arozarena that was blasted over the fence, giving the Mariners a lead and allowing the slugger to match Crow-Armstrong\u2019s heroics against the White Sox.<\/p>\n
What remains to be seen is whether Arozarena\u2019s team can match the Cubs\u2019 winning ways in those games, as the Cubs won both games Crow-Armstrong led off with home runs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong made history last week, and Seattle Mariners slugger Randy Arozarena just matched him…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":786621,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2399],"tags":[5,138,24,4245,161,34711,4],"class_list":["post-786620","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-chicago-cubs","tag-baseball","tag-chicago","tag-chicago-cubs","tag-chicagocubs","tag-cubs","tag-cubs-history","tag-mlb"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/117147123255229260","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/786620","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=786620"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/786620\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/786621"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=786620"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=786620"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=786620"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
