Mazara's 505-foot HR ties longest in five years

Baseballs are flying out of ballparks across the major leagues this season.

The one Nomar Mazara hit Friday night was the farthest yet.

The Texas Rangers outfielder clubbed a 505-foot bomb off Chicago White Sox right-hander Reynaldo Lopez, a two-run shot in the first inning that sailed high into the upper right-field deck at Globe Life Park in Arlington.

"I've hit some balls really hard. That one for some reason felt different,'' Mazara said.

"Where it ended up, that was pretty amazing,'' manager Chris Woodward said after the Rangers' 5-4 loss.
