Here’s our weekly look at some of the best mind-blowing notes from the last week in baseball (March 30-April 5).

Cys abound on Opening Day: Sandy Alcantara, Shane Bieber, Corbin Burnes, Jacob deGrom, Zack Greinke, Corey Kluber, Max Scherzer and Blake Snell all started on Opening Day, and all have one thing in common – they’re Cy Young Award winners. Those eight were the second-most Cy Young winners to start their team's first game of a season in a year, behind only 2016, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. That year, Jake Arrieta, Greinke, Félix Hernández, Clayton Kershaw, Dallas Keuchel, Kluber, David Price, Scherzer and Justin Verlander all started, marking nine.

Adley’s strong start: Speaking of Opening Day, Baltimore’s superstar backstop Adley Rutschman got off on the right foot, notching five hits, including a home run, and reaching base six times total. His hits and times on base were each a record for a catcher on Opening Day since at least 1900. Beyond that, he was just the eighth player to reach safely six times on Opening Day at any position, joining Hideki Matsui (2006), Carlos Delgado (2002), Darren Lewis (1992), Ken Singleton (1974, 13 innings), Dee Fondy (1954), Eddie Robinson (1951) and Bobby Byrne (1911).

Baltimore on the basepaths: One more on the Orioles for this week. With speedster Jorge Mateo and other alert baserunners, the club racked up a whopping 10 stolen bases in the first two games of a season. That’s the most by a team in its first two games of a season since 1900. They became the first team with at least 10 stolen bases in a span of two nine-inning games at any point in a season since the Rangers in August 2013.

• SB success rate is up ... and it could set a new record

Thompson for three: Trayce Thompson demonstrated Saturday that Klay isn’t the only Thompson brother who can go for three, knocking a trio of home runs for the Dodgers. Here’s where it gets wacky and fun: all three homers had the exact same exit velocity – 107.5 mph. He's the first player to hit three home runs at the exact same exit velocity in a game tracked by Statcast (since 2015), per research from MLB’s Jason Bernard.

Bochy ball: The Rangers scored 27 runs in their first two games of the season, which were also their first two games under new manager Bruce Bochy. That’s tied with the 1978 Brewers under George Bamberger for the second-most runs by a team in its first two games with a particular manager since 1900, according to Elias. Only the 1951 White Sox, under Paul Richards, had more runs to start a manager’s tenure – with 30 in his first two games at the helm.

In a New York minute: Yankees rookie Anthony Volpe got off to a speedy start to his career on the basepaths, stealing a base in each of his first three games. He became just the fifth player since 1900 with a stolen base in each of his first three games, joining Billy Hamilton (2013), Pat Howell (1992), Ray Lankford (1990) and Fritz Maisel (1913). Only Hamilton extended his streak to four games, so Volpe’s career-opening streak ranks tied for second on the list.

Tim’s time: Cleveland reliever Tim Herrin made his MLB debut on Sunday in Seattle, facing four batters and striking them all out. If that sounds rare, it’s because it is. Herrin became the first pitcher to face at least four batters in his MLB debut and strike all of them out since the mound was moved to its current distance in 1893, according to Elias.

A grand beginning: Another rookie who made a notable entrance was the Brewers’ Brice Turang, who hit a grand slam in his fourth career game for his first career home run. He became the fourth Brewers player with a grand slam for his first career MLB homer. He joined Shaun Marcum (7/4/11), Tim Unroe (5/3/97) and Bill Spiers (4/17/89). That’s right, the most recent Brewers player to do this was a pitcher, in Marcum.

Keeping it 100: Astros slugger Yordan Alvarez hit a notable long ball of his own on Monday – the 100th of his career. It came in just his 372nd career game, making Alvarez the fifth-fastest player in terms of games in MLB history to 100 career homers. Only Ryan Howard (325 games), Pete Alonso (347), Gary Sánchez (355) and Aaron Judge (371) got there in fewer games.

Undefeated Rays: The Rays are the last remaining undefeated team, at 6-0 entering the weekend. They’re the first team to start 6-0 or better since the Orioles started 7-0 in 2016. But wait, there’s more. All six of the Rays’ wins have been by at least four runs. That’s the second-longest streak of wins, all by four-plus runs, to start a season, behind only the 1884 St. Louis Maroons, at 13.
