Exactly two.

4/14/06: Inge precedes Granderson and hits a solo homer.
5/10/06: Inge precedes Granderson and hits a three-run homer.

He has 2909 PAs for his career so 37% of his PAs have been leading off an inning, but half his home runs have occurred during these situations.

I would need to check and see if any of those were after an earlier home run had cleared the bases.

Also, this is an overall impressive list of pitchers..!

Also, ol' Javy Vazquez must be happy Grandy is a teammate now!
