Jon Singleton homered in his Major League debut with the Houston Astros on Tuesday night.

He struck out twice and made a pair of errors at first base before hitting the solo home run in the eighth inning.

"I was taken back. It felt like I'd never done it before, to be honest," said Singleton, who slugged 75 homers in the minors. "It felt like it was something new. My heart was racing so fast once I hit home plate, it didn't make any sense. I was still excited, still pumped from the adrenaline."

Singleton is the first Astros player to hit a home run in his first major league game since Mark Saccomanno in 2008 and the fourth overall.
