By homering in his first four games of a season, he joined Chris Davis (2013), Nelson Cruz ('11), Mark McGwire ('88), Willie Mays ('71) as the only players to do that.

Story, however, is the only player to hit a home run in the first four games of his career.

sooner or later, and target his weak spots. We may see many strike outs and grounders along with those walks.

But he did have one today. More important is that the Rox won after two blow outs to the Pads.

And there was something mentioned that the Rockies have tied an old Tigers team for the most home runs in the first six games of a season.
