Did you see Evan Longoria’s home run Tuesday night?
If you did, you didn’t see it for long. The Giants’ third baseman got a fat fastball from Padres pitcher Matt Strahm, straight as a string, between the belt and the letters.
Longoria sent it zooming far into the San Diego night. Commented one witness, “The last time I saw something going that high and that fast it had heat shields on it.” Or maybe I just made that up. Whatever.
ESPN estimated the blast at 412 feet, speaking of making things up.
It was Longoria’s second home run of the game.
