Trevor Story is off to a historic home-run hitting start, and none of them have been cheap. Thanks to a near-perfect combination of launch angle and exit velocity, Colorado’s rookie shortstop has hit balls that are nearly guaranteed to be home runs.

A year ago, Robinson Cano finished the first three months of the Mariners’ season with four home runs and wound up seeing a string of five straight All-Star appearances snapped due to his disappointing start.

Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson is day to day with a calf strain he sustained during Wednesday afternoon’s 5-3 loss to the Rays.
