BOSTON -- Nelson Cruz hit the longest homer by a Mariner this season in the first inning Friday night at Fenway Park. Then for good measure, he hit another clear out of the stadium.
By the fourth inning, Cruz had already cranked out three hits and seven RBIs, with two home runs that combined for 908 feet, per Statcast™. Cruz's first homer was a 465-footer off a light tower above the Green Monster in left-center field, a three-run shot to give Seattle the early lead in a four-run first off knuckleballer Steven Wright.
