[MUSIC PLAYING]

- Acuña digs in and unloads deep to left field. Did he keep that ball fair?

- I think he did.

- It's near the pole. That ball is in the upper deck. A first pitch homer for Ronald Acuña Jr. That'll restore everybody's sanity. It's 2-0 Atlanta. 99th career homer. 18th this year, tying him with Vladimir Guerrero jr. for the Major League lead.

- Still nobody out. And now Bichette drives one to deep left field. And this one's gonna go as well. A no-doubter for Bo Bichette. Third home run of the inning for the Blue Jays, and it is 6 to 0.

- Well, anybody that had any concerns about the Blue Jays players having a hangover from last night's loss, you can forget about that. These kids are too young to worry about that. My oh my, he hit this one a long way. And I remember early in the season, he hit one deep over those seats, and that one cleared the seats as well.

- They were up there trying to do as much damage as they could. Like that.

- There's damage right there. Shohei way, way sayonara. Where did that land? Just like that.

- Couple of rows at the top.

- 2-0 Angels. Shohei. Goodness.

- That's incredible how far that went. I remember Joey Gallo hit one off of Garrett Richards pretty far up there. I remember Bo Jackson in the all-star game. But I don't know if I've ever seen a ball that far up on that batter's eye. I mean, that's way up there.

- I've never seen one hit that high up there.

- Could you hit a Top Flite golf ball that far, you think?

- Yeah, with a two iron.
