By Brandon Apter, Sports Talk Philly editor VIDEO: Dylan Cozens hits longest homer in Coca-Cola Park history

The month of April was one to forget for Phillies slugging outfield prospect Dylan Cozens, hitting .136 and striking out 40 times in 81 at-bats. May has been a completely different story, as the 6-foot-6 outfielder is slashing .370/.434/.761 with five homers and 13 RBIs in 13 games. Over the past 10 days, he's hit five homers, three of which have been game-winning long balls for Triple-A Lehigh Valley. The Ironpigs swept a doubleheader on Sunday and extended their win streak to a franchise-best nine games. 

In game one of Lehigh Valley's twinbill with Buffalo, Cozens stepped to the plate with his team leading 4-0 and threatening with runners on the corners in the fifth inning. With one swing of the bat, he blew the game open even more with a three-run blast, which was measured at 469 feet, longest in Coca-Cola Park history. Take a look at the home run below.

The Ironpigs are in sole possession of first place in their division, 3.5 games up on the second place team. They open up a four-game set in Rochester beginning Monday night at 7:05 p.m.
