For only the second time in big league history beginning in 1916, the earliest year the records are available, the leadoff batters for both teams homer in their first at-bat and then add another round-tripper in the same game when Seattle’s Brad Miller and Tampa Bay’s Ben Zobrist each hit a pair of homers in the Mariners’ 5-4 win at Tropicana Field. Chuck Knoblauch of the Twins and Detroit’s Tony Phillips last accomplished the feat in 1994 at Tiger Stadium.

2013 – In Seattle’s 5 – 4 win over the Rays, the lead-off hitters for both teams flex their muscles. Brad Miller and Ben Zobrist both homer in their first at-bat, and again in the 5th inning. This has only happened once before in major league history, when Tony Phillips and Chuck Knoblauch, for the Tigers and Twins, both led off the game with a homer and added one later on in the game on June 5, 1994. Zobrist’s first long ball is the 100th of his career, while for Miller, it’s his first game in his home state of Florida.
