On Monday, Julio Rodríguez made more MLB history when he hit a home run in the fourth inning of the Seattle Mariners' 6-3 road loss to the Cincinnati Reds in Ohio. With the 411-foot blast, J-Rod became the first player to record 25 home runs and 25 stolen bases in each of his first two seasons, according to MLB.com.

The 22-year-old slugger was named the American League Player of the Month for August when he had 18 hits in five games, the most in that span in nearly 100 years.

During his surge, the Mariners had a 12-1 stretch and climbed their way into a tie with the Houston Astros at the top of the AL West.
“I was recognized, but it was a whole team effort,” Rodríguez said. “It’s not just me. It takes all of us to win. I feel like that’s what’s really cool about our team. It’s not just one guy, and I feel like everybody’s feeding off what we all got going on.”
