Víctor Mesa Jr. hit a two-run home run off Max Fried in Game 3 of the Division Series at Yankee Stadium. The shot came in the sixth inning with the score tied 2-2 and put Tampa Bay on course for a 4-3 victory.
The home run left the bat at 107.3 mph and traveled an estimated 401 feet. The Rays swept the Yankees out of the series and advanced to the American League Championship Series.
Eight months earlier, the Miami Marlins had designated the Cuban outfielder for assignment before the start of spring training, putting his future with that organization in doubt.
