Jon Singleton Wallops Two Home Runs, Astros Crush Angels 11-3
This, y’all, is forever known as the Jon Singleton game. End of story.
Well, not the end of this story as we do have a lot to cover. As you all know, Justin Verlander was due to make his first appearance at Minute Maid Park since the Astros brought him back at the trade deadline. He was the story heading into the game. Little did we know that a former top prospect in Singleton would take center stage with not only one mammoth home run but two.
A combined 779 feet of distance from Singleton’s pair of home runs, or nearly 144 Altuves. Even more impressive is the history that the first baseman made in the process.
