Dunn, Renteria on pace for 324 HR each...

From the "Statistics don't Lie" Department, both mashers Adam Dunn of the Cincinatti Reds and Edgar Renteria of the Atlanta Braves hit two dingers in their first game of the season, putting them on a torrid pace to acheive almost half of the MLB career record in just one season.

"I am known to get on a streak now and then, but hitting a 300 batting average is hard enough, let alone 300 home runs this season," said Dunn.

Per the Cincinnatti Post, Dunn's third-inning homer was the 200th of his career. He entered the season fifth on baseball's all-time list of career home runs after six seasons, trailing Ralph Kiner (257), Albert Pujols (250), Eddie Mathews (222) and former Red Frank Robinson (198).
