In the last week of the season, Justin Upton hit a broken-bat home run. It wasn't a, "Gee, maybe there's a crack somewhere" kind of broken bat. The barrel of the bat went flying off towards the third-base dugout, scattering horrified onlookers, as the ball sailed over the left-field fence. Dude's strong.
Justin Upton Is Strong
And against Zack Greinke, he just brutalized a ball, driving it into the upper deck in left. And just like that, the Diamondbacks have life again. Upton's homer drove in Aaron Hill to tie the game at 4-4.
Greinke averaged an even one homer for every nine innings he’s pitched this season, and he’s already given up three today. He’s also limited the number of Diamondbacks runners, so the damage wasn’t as severe as it could have been. Between the two ballparks and the teams playing in this series, this probably isn’t the last game of the series with dingers a-poppin’.
