Mercedes became a huge bright spot by making his major league debut at age 28 and cranked out five hits and drove in four runs against the Los Angeles Angels in a 12-8 victory on April 2. He became the first player in the modern era to go 5-for-5 to begin a season. In 1933, Cecil Travis had five hits against Cleveland, but he had seven at-bats in that contest.
