Trailing by three runs in the fifth inning, he took a full swing at a 140 km/h cutter from opposing starter Kojima. The ball soared into the upper deck of the left field stands. His ninth home run of the season was a blast that turned the tide in his favor. "I was able to hit it with one swing when it came in a sweet spot," he said, rounding the bases with a light step.
