Baltimore Orioles rookie Jackson Holliday will have his family waiting for him at home after he finishes the three-game series against the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park. The first game of the series took place on Friday, with the home team taking down the Orioles 1-0.

As a baseball player, especially in a professional league like the MLB, Holliday is frequently on road trips, leaving his loved ones behind. So when he reaches home, he's heartedly welcomed back by his wife Chloe and their pet Coconut, but how exactly?

On Friday, Chloe reposted an Instagram post that showed how a wife and her dog react when her husband reaches home. The video features characters from the popular TV series "Friends." Rachel and Pheobe from the iconic series can be seen jumping on seeing Ross return. All of them started jumping and hugging each other in the reunion.

It might be the same way Chloe and Coconut react after they see Jackson Holliday return to Baltimore after a long road trip.

Chloe captures heartwarming reunion of Jackson Holliday and pup Coconut

In the first week of September, Jackson Holliday returned to his Baltimore residence after finishing the three-game series against the Colorado Rockies. His pup was ecstatic on seeing him.

Immediately, Coconut rushed to Holliday as the two shared a heartwarming hug that was perfectly captured by Chloe who uploaded it on social media.

Jackson Holliday and Chloe know each other from their time in high school in Oklahoma. While on a trip to Mexico, the pair said "yes" to get engaged in Dec. 2022. Earlier this year, in January, the couple were announced as husband and wife.

Holliday's first impression in the majors was of a below .100 hitter, as he could only hit 2-for-34 in his first 10 games before being optioned back to Norfolk Tides. He was recalled in July and has been with the team on their active roster.

Although he had a far better stint the second time around, he's struggling to put the ball in play consistently. For the season, he's hitting .171, including five home runs, and four stolen bases across 50 games played in the majors this season.

It remains to be seen whether he can save himself a spot on the postseason roster when the calendar hits October.
