What happened: Ethan Salas went deep again, giving him the first two Major League home runs of his career in the same game. The outburst also put a second milestone on the night as his bat stayed in the middle of the action.
Why it matters: It comes less than two weeks after Ethan Salas made his Major League debut, accelerating the spotlight on one of the sport's youngest new catchers. A two-homer game at this age is the kind of early marker that can quickly change how a September call-up is viewed.
By the numbers: At 20 years and 107 days old, Salas became the youngest catcher in MLB history with two home runs in a game. Wire Report previously logged his debut on Sept. 2 and his first Major League hit on Sept. 14, when he tripled in his 16th career at-bat.
What to watch: Watch whether Salas follows the breakout with another lineup appearance right away. His next few games will show whether the power surge turns into a larger role before the season closes.
