Indians rookie third baseman Giovanny Urshela crushed his first career home run during a 6-0 win Thursday against the Mariners. Urshela hit a two-out solo home run off Vidal Nuno in the fifth inning.
Urshela also had an RBI single in the third inning, as he finished 2 for 4 with one strikeout and two runs.
''It's very exciting, both hits,'' Urshela said, per the Associated Press. ''I was just trying to get one in one day, and I got two.''
Urshela came into Thursday's game 0 for 4 with one RBI in his first two appearances.
''You could see how happy he was,'' Indians manager Terry Francona said. ''It was genuine, pure. You don't get to see that all the time. It's once in a lifetime when you get your first major league hit, first major league home run.''
