It didn’t take long for Kyle Lewis to make an impact in his first MLB game. In just his second at-bat of the night, coming in the bottom of the fifth inning in a 1-0 deficit, Lewis launched a 2-0, 93 mile-per-hour fastball from a struggling Trevor Bauer to the back of the Mariners’ bullpen.
FIRST HIT. FIRST HOME RUN.

Not only was it Lewis’ first career home run but also his first hit, getting out of the ballpark at a 34-degree launch angle off an exit velo of 106.
