PHILADELPHIA -- Don't tell Rhys Hoskins that the Home Run Derby ruins swings. If anything, it fixed his.
Hoskins homered to the deepest part of the field at Citizens Bank Park on a 3-2 fastball from Walker Buehler in the first inning of Wednesday's game against the Dodgers. The ball traveled 401 feet, according to Statcast™, tying the game at 1.
Hoskins has homered in four of the Phillies' six games since he reached the semifinal round of the T-Mobile Home Run Derby last week.
