It's nearly impossible to hit Clayton Kershaw's killer curveball out of the park, but that's exactly what Giants second baseman Brandon Hicks accomplished Sunday afternoon.

The blast was the first-ever regular-season big fly off the lefty's hook, according to FanGraphs. That's a span of 2,173 Kershaw benders that have remained in the park over the past six seasons.

The first home run Kershaw yielded on a curve was to Matt Holliday in the 2009 NLCS.
