Matt Gorski belted a 115.2 mile-per-hour solo home run in the second inning of the Pittsburgh Pirates' showdown with the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday, making history right from the jump.

After getting recalled earlier in the day, Gorski hit a home run in his first MLB at-bat, something that hasn't been done in more than a decade.

The Pirates announced the selection of outfielder/first baseman Matt Gorski onto the major league roster. Pittsburgh also recalled righty Mike Burrows. They optioned Jack Suwinski to Triple-A Indianapolis and placed Justin Lawrence on the 15-day injured list with elbow inflammation.
