CLEVELAND -- Royals rookie first baseman Ryan O'Hearn continues to raise eyebrows throughout the American League.
O'Hearn, who was called up in late July, ripped two home runs in his first three at-bats in Monday's 5-1 win over the Indians at Progressive Field. O'Hearn also added a double.
"That's cool," O'Hearn said of his first career multihomer game. "Days like that you never forget. Good to get that out of the way."
The 25-year-old first baseman is the first Royals player to have at least nine home runs and 22 RBIs in his first 24 games.

O'Hearn blasted a 3-2 four-seam fastball from right-hander Adam Plutko over the center-field fence to lead off the fourth. He then smashed a no-doubter to right field off Plutko in the sixth with Hunter Dozier aboard to give the Royals a 4-0 lead.
O'Hearn once again showed he can use all fields: the double went to left, and the homers traveled to center and to right.
"Hitting it where it's pitched is a big part of my game, especially nowadays with the shift," O'Hearn said. "You can't be one-dimensional. Just try to have good at-bats."
