Manny Machado is not only having an impact on the playoff race. The Baltimore Orioles rookie made history -- with a bizarre bit of coincidence thrown in -- Friday in his second big-league game.

The third baseman, who is 20 years and 35 days old, homered twice against the Kansas City Royals to become the youngest player in team history to achieve the feat and the 12th-youngest in baseball since 1918.

Machado broke the record of Boog Powell, who was 20 years and 258 days old when he hit two homers May 2, 1962.

But Machado won't celebrate the feat by himself. Adam Corder, 15 and a Maryland native who now lives in Prague, caught both of Machado's home runs, according to MLB.com.

Corder was sitting in section 78, row 14 at Camden Yards.

The Orioles won the game 7-1 to keep their place as one of the two wild-card leaders in the AL.
