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

Jake McCarthy of the Colorado Rockies hit his second leadoff inside-the-park home run this season against the San Francisco Giants on July 12. This marks a rare achievement, as he becomes the first player to accomplish this feat since Edd Roush in 1929. McCarthy's first inside-the-park homer was recorded on June 20 against the Pittsburgh Pirates, contributing to a 2-1 victory. In his first season with the Rockies after previously playing for the Arizona Diamondbacks, McCarthy has set career highs, including a.301 batting average and 10 home runs before the All-Star Break.
