2018 – Career minor league journeyman Francisco Arcia is making the most of his belated opportunity to play in the Show after 12 seasons as a pro. In his second career game, he homers and drives in 6 runs to lead the Angels to an 11 – 5 win over the Mariners. This follows upon a four-RBI game in his debut two days earlier, giving him a record 10 RBIs over his first two games. Joe Cunningham previously held the record with 9 in his first two games for the 1954 St. Louis Cardinals.
