What happened: The blast was Randy Arozarena's 20th home run of 2026. A day earlier, he opened the scoring and later hit a two-run walk-off in a 5-4 win.

Why it matters: His latest milestone extends one of baseball's longest-running combinations of power and speed. It also comes amid a three-homer surge over two games.

By the numbers: Arozarena has reached 20 home runs and 20 stolen bases in six consecutive seasons. The latest homer traveled 358 feet with a 93.8 mph exit velocity and 34-degree launch angle.

What to watch: His next game will test whether the leadoff power carries into a third straight day.
