Mandatory Credit: Nick Turchiaro-Imagn Images Baltimore Orioles outfielder Tyler O'Neill hit a three-run homer in the third inning on Thursday to extend his major league record of homering on Opening Day to six in a row.
O'Neill's blast to right field came against right-hander Jose Berrios of the Toronto Blue Jays and gave Baltimore a 5-0 lead.
O'Neill's streak began in 2020 with St. Louis, the first of four straight Opening Day blasts with the Cardinals. Last season, he homered for the Boston Red Sox on Opening Day.
Last season's homer allowed O'Neill to surpass the previous record of four straight Opening Day homers, shared by Yogi Berra (1955-58), Gary Carter (1977-80) and Todd Hundley (1994-97).
O'Neill was 3-for-3 with three runs, three RBIs and a walk through seven innings of Thursday's game in Toronto.
