Jake McCarthy makes MLB history with two inside-the-park homers

Jake McCarthy of the Colorado Rockies became the first player since 1929 to hit two inside-the-park home runs in a single MLB season during a game against the San Francisco Giants on July 12, 2026. McCarthy's latest accomplishment came after a line drive misplayed by Giants right fielder Jung Hoo Lee, initially ruled an error but later changed to a home run by the official scorer. Despite McCarthy's efforts, the Rockies lost to the Giants 3-1. This season, McCarthy has emerged as a key player for the Rockies, boasting career-high statistics in multiple categories as the team approaches the All-Star break.
