TORONTO (AP) — Baltimore Orioles outfielder Tyler O’Neill hit a three-run home run off Toronto's José Berríos in the third inning of Thursday’s game at Toronto, extending his major league record by homering for a sixth straight opening day.
Playing a season-opening game in his home country of Canada for the first time, O’Neill connected on a two-out, 2-1 sinker, driving in Colton Cowser and Adley Rutschman and putting Baltimore up 4-0.
O’Neill’s opening day home run streak began with St. Louis in 2020 and continued for four seasons, matching a mark held by Todd Hundley (1994-97), Gary Carter (1977-80) and Yogi Berra (1955-58).
