Five leadoff hitters wasted no time getting their teams on the board Tuesday, when a record-tying number of leadoff homers were hit. 

The Braves’ Ronald Acuna Jr., the Dodgers’ Enrique Hernandez, the Phillies’ Scott Kingery, the Angels’ Tommy La Stella and the Yankees’ DJ LeMahieu each went deep in their first trip to the plate. Those five leadoff homers match the record for a single day in MLB history. It was also accomplished on Aug. 17, 2006 and Aug. 19, 2016.

The home runs bolstered the resumes for three of those players -- Acuna, La Stella and LeMahieu -- who are vying for a trip to next month’s All-Star Game in Cleveland. All three were announced as finalists for the inaugural Google MLB All-Stars Starters Election, which begins on Wednesday at noon ET. 

Kingery, LeMahieu and Acuna started it off in the early round of games in the Midwest and on the East Coast, while La Stella and Hernandez followed in the late games out West. Acuna’s and Hernandez’s were hit in the game’s very first at-bat, and the other three came in the home half of the first inning.

La Stella’s homer was, perhaps, the most exciting of the bunch, because it never left the park. Reds center fielder Nick Senzel attempted to haul in La Stella’s deep fly at the wall, but it hit off his glove and rolled left, allowing La Stella to round the bases -- in 16.35 seconds with a sprint speed of 27.1 feet per second (the MLB average is 27), per Statcast -- for an inside-the-park home run, the Angels’ first since April 11, 2012 (Peter Bourjos against the Twins at Target Field). 

It was also the first inside-the-parker at Angel Stadium since Chone Figgins accomplished the feat against the Rangers on Sept. 29, 2006.

LeMahieu’s, meanwhile, was record-breaking, as he and Aaron Judge led off New York’s 4-3 victory over the Blue Jays with back-to-back jacks at Yankee Stadium. The Yankees have now homered at least once in 28 consecutive games, breaking the 2002 Rangers’ Major League record. They've slugged 50 home runs during the streak, and LeMahieu ranks second on the team with seven of them (Gary Sanchez is first with eight).

Acuna launched a moonshot on the game’s first pitch at 110 mph, the hardest hit of the five, into the left-field bleachers. It was the 21-year-old’s 12th career leadoff homer in just 109 starts at the top of the Braves’ lineup. That ties Rafael Furcal for the second-most leadoff home runs in Braves history, five shy of Felipe Alou’s franchise record.

Kingery’s leadoff shot was one of four home runs hit by the Phillies in Tuesday’s 7-5 victory over the Mets at Citizens Bank Park, and Hernandez’s sixth career leadoff homer gave the Dodgers an early edge against the D-backs at Chase Field.
