Milwaukee Brewers star Christian Yelich didn't waste any time Tuesday night against the Colorado Rockies.
The 2018 National League MVP hit a 499-foot home run from the leadoff spot against Rockies starter Chad Kuhl.

It was the longest homer in MLB since the Texas Rangers' Nomar Mazara deposited the ball 505 feet from home plate in a 2019 game against the Chicago White Sox.
"That's kind of just one of those ones where everything kind of lines up for you and you catch it in a really good spot," Yelich told reporters after the game.
