Rangers' Nomar Mazara: Blasts titanic homer in slugfest victory

Mazara went 2-for-5 with a home run, his eighth of the year, and three RBI in Wednesday's win against the Angels.

Analysis:

Mazara's solo shot to lead off the second inning would have traveled a projected 491 feet, according to Statcast, making it the longest home run in the majors this season. It also sparked a three-run rally that propelled the Rangers to a 15-9 win that clinched a series victory over the Angels. Mazara's titanic home run replaced Giancarlo Stanton's 475-foot homer on May 6 as the longest of the season. The 21-year-old is looking like a Rookie of the Year candidate through the early part of the season, slashing .320/.365/.500 through his first 150 at-bats.
