Bryce Harper Hits Two 440-Foot Home Runs in Phillies’ 12–7 Victory Over Mariners

Philadelphia Phillies slugger Bryce Harper delivered a historic performance, hitting two home runs exceeding 440 feet in the same game, marking the first time a Phillies player has achieved this feat since Statcast began tracking in 2015. Harper’s first blast traveled a Statcast-projected 440 feet into the second deck in right-center field in the sixth inning. Less than an hour later, he topped that with a 448-foot homer off the facade of the second deck in right-center. These two homers were part of a season-high 21-hit attack by the Phillies, who secured a 12–7 victory over the Seattle Mariners. Every Phillies starter had at least one hit before the third inning, a feat not accomplished since September 28, 1963.
