Robin Roberts and a pitcher born in the Netherlands

Bob is correct, the pitcher born in the Netherlands, also the sixth and final answer to Bob's trivia question: Bert Rikaalbert Blyleven. Blyleven is 5th in strikeouts (3,701), 8th in HRs allowed (430), and 9th in shutouts (60).

The other is none other than former Dodger Don Sutton, 5th in HRs allowed (472), 7th in strikeouts (3,574), and 10th in shutouts (58).

Congratulations to Joshua Baez, who became the first player ever to hit three home runs in his first three at bats.

Only two other players have homered in their first two at bats, who were they?

BC

Got buried, but if anyone was curious, the answers were Bob Nieman (1951), Keith McDonald (2000).  Nieman had a 12-year journeyman career that ended with the Giants.  McDonald had a short (2 year) MLB career who only had one other home run.
