Travis Bazzana and Curtis Mead are delivering as they break a 16-year Australian drought in baseball's Major Leagues.
But Mead holds the upper hand, with the Washington Nationals winning the first two games of their away series against Mead's Cleveland Guardians.
Mead hit two home runs in game one and was robbed of another on Tuesday in the three-game series, while Bazzana also had racked up two hits.
Baseball Australia have heralded the series as the first time in 16 years that two players from this country have faced off in starting line-ups for a major league game - Mead at third base and Bazzana at second, also as Cleveland's leadoff hitter.
The Nationals have won 10-2 and 6-3, with game three on Thursday (AEST). Washington are second in the National League East division, while Cleveland lead the American League Central standings.
