Emmanuel Rodriguez Homers in First Career At-Bat During MLB Debut

Top prospect Emmanuel Rodriguez made an unforgettable MLB debut Saturday, launching a 420-foot solo home run in his first career plate appearance during Minnesota's 4-3 victory over Cleveland. Starting in center field, the 23-year-old went 1-for-4 with a run, an RBI, and an outfield assist. Recalled from Triple-A St. Paul (.262/.414/.500, 11 HRs), Rodriguez could see regular action with Byron Buxton facing season-ending hip surgery.
