From 0 for 12 to a 427-foot blast: Travis Bazzana’s first MLB homer sparks Guardians

Cleveland Guardians rookie Travis Bazzana, the No. 1 pick in the 2024 amateur draft, hit his first MLB home run — a 427-foot blast — and stole two bases after starting his major league career 0-for-12. The Guardians defeated the Minnesota Twins 6-4 on Friday night, May 9, 2026. Bazzana had remained confident throughout his hitless streak, trusting his consistent approach would eventually pay off.
