James McCann took a second to watch his third-inning grand slam disappear into the left-center field seats.
He demolished the fastball from L.A. Angels left-hander Tyler Skaggs, and nobody was going to blame him for admiring the hardest-hit ball of his major league career.
McCann’s third-career grand slam and fourth home run this season traveled an estimated 437 feet on a career-best 109.4 mph. exit velocity, according to Statcast. The no-doubt slam gave the Detroit Tigers a five-run cushion in the third inning on Monday afternoon at Comerica Park, part of a dominant 9-3 victory over the Angels.
