Overview
- O’Neill did not go deep in the Orioles’ 2-1 Opening Day win over the Twins, finishing 1-for-2 with a walk and a run.
- He had homered in six straight season openers from 2020 to 2025, the longest such streak in MLB history.
- The run spanned three teams — the Cardinals, Red Sox and Orioles — showcasing unusual continuity across changes of uniform.
- Before O’Neill, the best streak was four straight by Yogi Berra, Gary Carter and Todd Hundley.
- He now has six career Opening Day homers, two short of the all-time mark of eight held by Adam Dunn, Ken Griffey Jr. and Frank Robinson.
