The outfielder was the first player since 2018 to have the only RBI in a 1-0 win in his team debut, according to ESPN Stats & Info. The last player to do it was Laureano in 2018 with the Oakland Athletics.

Cleveland claimed Laureano off waivers from Oakland on Monday. The RBI double came off against Yusei Kikuchi in the second inning. Kikuchi gave up three hits over seven innings.
