It's the sixth-longest home run in the Majors this season and the third-longest at Target Field since Statcast™ starting tracking home runs in 2015. The longest Target Field homers belong to Seattle's Nelson Cruz, who hit a 493-foot clout on Sept. 24, 2016, and the Twins' Kennys Vargas, who hit one 483 feet on June 20 against the White Sox.

Donaldson hit another homer to left field off Gibson in the second inning, a solo shot that was projected to travel 370 feet with an exit velocity of 96 mph, according to Statcast™. The homer gave the Blue Jays a 5-0 lead before the Twins rallied for seven runs in the bottom of the frame.
