What happened: Merrill drove a solo home run on a 96.2 mph four-seam fastball. The ball traveled 432 feet with a 29-degree launch angle and had enough carry to leave all 30 parks.

Why it matters: The swing pushed Merrill to 26 home runs on the season. The Statcast profile made it a no-doubt drive, not a wall-scraper, which gives the shot more weight than a routine highlight.

What to watch: Watch whether Merrill keeps that power pace rolling over his next few games. Another homer would move him past 26 on the season.
