What Bronson Arroyo and Shohei Ohtani have in common

One of Shohei Ohtani's rarest feats in his first week as a Major League Baseball player is something only three others have done in the Live Ball Era. And one of them was Bronson Arroyo, in his first season as a Red.

Ohtani is the fourth player since 1920, according to Elias Sports Bureau, with a win as a pitcher and two home runs as a hitter in his team's first seven games of a season.
