Congrats to Marlins first baseman/designated hitter Jesús Aguilar, who mashed his 100th major league home run on Friday night off of Luis García. The 31-year-old had been spent the previous several weeks in a mild slump before driving García’s 3-1 fastball to left-center field to extend Miami’s lead over the Astros in the top of the first inning.
The aforementioned slump—Aguilar hadn’t gone deep since May 27—gave me some time to compile the following fun facts about him:
- Breakdown by team: 0 HR with Guardians (64 PA), 59 HR with Brewers (1,139 PA), 4 HR with Rays (107 PA), 37 HR with Marlins (944 PA).
