Welcome to the big leagues, Joey Gallo.

The Texas Rangers rookie had a memorable debut with three hits, a home run and four RBIs as the Texas Rangers romped to a 15-2 win over the Chicago White Sox.

Gallo is the fourth player with at least three hits, a home run and four RBIs in his major league debut. Each of the other three (Merl Combs, Bob Nieman and Mark Quinn) played on a losing team.

He’s the first Rangers player to homer in his first game since another of the team’s top prospects, Jurickson Profar, in 2012.

The rich get richer

Gallo had a strong debut, but the Rangers were already trotting out one of the strongest lineups in baseball, leading the league in runs per game, home runs and slugging since the start of May.

How he hit

Gallo’s hits came on a slider (the single) and two fastballs (the double and home run).

The double and home run each came on pitches on the inner half of the plate.

Gallo’s one out, a strikeout against White Sox southpaw Dan Jennings, came on a nasty slider off the outside corner.

Gallo swung at 11 of the 21 pitches he saw, missing four times. He missed on both swings he took against Jennings, but missed on only 2 of 9 against righties and chased only one of the seven pitches he saw from right-handers that were out of the strike zone.

Did you know?

Gallo fell a triple shy of the cycle in his MLB debut on Tuesday night. Falling a triple shy of a cycle is not an uncommon occurrence, as it had happened 71 times this season entering Tuesday.

However, during the live ball era (since 1920), Gallo is just the seventh player to do it in his MLB debut. He's the first since J.P. Arencibia in 2010.

For context, 13,124 batters finished a triple shy of the cycle during the live-ball era entering Tuesday.

So, falling a triple shy of a cycle happens approximately 135 times per season -- but only 0.053 percent of the time is it in a player's MLB debut.
