At Shea, the Devil Rays defeat the Mets, 15-5. SS Felix Martinez and P Esteban Yan hit their 1st career home runs on consecutive pitches from Bobby Jones in the 2nd inning. Yan's home run is on the 1st pitch he sees in his 1st major league AB. He's the 77th MLer to hit a home run on his 1st at bat, and just the 4th AL pitcher. The last AL pitcher was California's Don Rose, in 1972. » August 17, 2002:
Going, going, Yan. For the 2nd day in a row, Tampa Bay's Esteban Yan gives up a 2-out homer in the 9th, and it costs him his closer's job. Yesterday, Raul Ibanez hits a 2-run homer to give Kansas City a 6–5 win. Today, Brent Mayne ties the score with a solo home run, then Mike Sweeney ices it for KC, 7–3, in the 12th with a 3-run shot. Ibanez adds a homer. » December 26, 2002: The Rangers sign free agent P Esteban Yan to a contract.
