Lourdes Gurriel Jr. Blasts Historic Home Run and Records Two-Homer Night for Diamondbacks

Arizona Diamondbacks designated hitter Lourdes Gurriel Jr. had a two-homer night against the San Diego Padres, including a historic two-run blast in the eighth inning off Mason Miller. This 103.9 mph pitch was the fastest ever hit for a home run since MLB began tracking in 2008, traveling 439 feet with a 107.1 mph exit velocity. It marked his second homer of the game and 14th of the season, and despite tying the game, the Diamondbacks ultimately lost.
