And it was a go-ahead grand slam.
The WooSox went on to win 10-4.
That homer didn’t just surpass the longest homer in both the majors and minors this season (Mike Trout and Aramis Garcia held the high mark in each at 484 feet). That 497 feet would have been the fifth-longest homer recorded in the majors since Statcast started tracking fly balls in 2015.
