Monday was a pretty solid day of firsts for Rob Segedin.

During the day, the Los Angeles Dodgers rookie third baseman crushed the first home run of his career in the fifth inning against the Cincinnati Reds, earning himself the traditional silent treatment from his teammates after launching one to deep left field.
