The White Sox lost to the Blue Jays by nine runs Tuesday night at the Rogers Centre, and yet Sox right fielder Avisail Garcia still delivered the biggest “wow” moment of the night.
In the fifth inning against Blue Jays left-hander J.A. Happ, Garcia hit a solo home run that bounced off paneling above the second deck in left-center field and back onto the field.
MLB.com’s Statcast estimated the home run to have traveled 481 feet with an exit velocity of 116.7 mph. The site said it is both the longest and hardest home run by a Sox player since Statcast was introduced in 2015.
