PHOENIX -- It was one of those "wow" moments said both D-backs manager Torey Lovullo and Pirates pitcher Ivan Nova. They both referred to Paul Goldschmidt's mammoth, 453-foot homer off the video board at Chase Field during the fifth inning of Sunday's 6-4 Arizona loss to the Bucs in 10 innings at Chase Field.
Lovullo was in the D-backs dugout watching the massive arc of Goldschmidt's second homer of the game. Nova served up both of them, the epic shot having an exit velocity of 112.4 miles per hour, his hardest-hit ball of the three-year Statcast™ era.
