Coming into today Athletics’ starter Mason Miller had never allowed a major league home run. He also throws 100 MPH. Neither thing helped him as he faced Salvador Perez in the first inning.

If you can’t read the embedded tweet above the home run went an estimated 462 feet. That’s the longest for a Royal this year and the longest of Salvy’s career. The exit velocity was over 112 MPH and put a dent in the wall above the upper deck fountains.
