Joshua Báez homered in each of his first three major league at-bats on Aug. 15 at Wrigley Field, making him the first player in MLB history with three home runs in his debut. Tonight the Cardinals outfielder makes his LIDOM debut with the Leones del Escogido against Toros del Este. Escogido is in first place at 14-6, a game ahead of Licey, according to LIDOM.

It’s a homecoming of sorts. Báez was born in Boston, but his family moved to Santo Domingo when he was an infant. He told Alerta Deportiva that everyone believes the debut happened except him.

He told the outlet he has no restrictions, will play wherever Escogido needs him and plans to stay with the team through the end of the season.
