Joey Gallo launched his eight homer of the year and it went so far that it not even Statcast knew how to calculate the distance right away. He hit the ball a mile in the air and it landed halfway up the upper deck in right-center field.

As of this writing, the official distance of Gallo’s homer remains unknown.
Gallo was the leadoff batter for the game and the No. 2 hitter was Alex Kirilloff, who homered in his first at-bat in the first inning and then went back-to-back with Gallo in the third inning with a shot that was projected at 422 feet after leaving his bat at 101.3 mph.
