Mike Yastrzemski gave the Giants a 4-2 lead in the fifth inning of Friday’s game vs. the Rockies, with a 472-foot, two-run bomb off the upper deck wall in right field. According to Andrew Baggarly, it was three feet short of Brandon Belt’s 475-foot shot that stands as the longest homer by a Giant in the Statcast era.

The homer is Yastrzemski’s 10th of the season, his first in the big leagues. The home run followed a standup RBI triple by Austin Slater earlier in the inning, that bounced off the right-field wall and nearly rolled back into the infield.
