06/27 20:53 CDT Hunter Goodman smashes three home runs vs. Twins Hunter Goodman smashes three home runs vs. Twins By PATRICK DONNELLY Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS (AP) --- Colorado Rockies designated hitter Hunter Goodman hit three long home runs against the Minnesota Twins on Saturday. Goodman crushed two no-doubters --- solo shots in the first and third innings --- in his first two at-bats against Twins starter Mike Paredes. The first reached the third deck in left field, a Statcast-estimated 428 feet away. The second homer also traveled 428 feet, settling in the bullpens beyond the fence in left center. Then, after grounding out in the fifth, Goodman came up with two runners on base and the Rockies leading 3-2 in the seventh. He worked the count full, then hammered a high sinker from Kody Funderburk 401 feet into the seats in left-center. The red-hot Goodman also hit a two-out, two-run homer in the ninth inning on Friday to briefly give Colorado the lead before the Twins rallied to pull out a 9-8 win in 10 innings. That 451-foot blast was the longest home run of the day, according to Baseball Savant. The 26-year-old slugger has 25 home runs on the season after hitting a career-best 31 last year. ___ AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/MLB
