Munetaka Murakami of the Chicago White Sox and Chase DeLauter of the Cleveland Guardians have accomplished something in the last week that had been done only twice before: homering in each of their first three games.

The Blue Jays started the 50th season in team history by striking out 50 batters in their opening series against the Athletics, setting the major league record for strikeouts in the first three games of the season.

Emerson Hancock pitched six hitless innings for the Mariners in his season debut before being removed from the game by manager Dan Wilson.
