He’s walking, he’s hitting the ball with authority. He’s playing really well. He’s really maximizing this opportunity that he’s getting right now.” Trammell’s sixth homer of the season, which came off Toronto reliever Chad Dallas and traveled a Statcast-projected 388 feet, broke open a 3-2 game.

The ball had an exit velocity of 113.3 mph, making it the hardest-hit ball of his career. “I got a good pitch to hit,” he said. “Last plate appearance, he threw me three in a row and just saw it really well and was hitting them hard for the most part.
