J.D. Martinez has definitely made his mark on this Tigers team -- and now he's made his mark on Comerica Park.

The Tigers slugger clubbed a monster two-run bomb off Seattle's Taijuan Walker in the third inning of Tuesday's game that landed in a camera well, traveling an estimated 467 feet, according to MLB.com.

The homer is the longest in Comerica Park history, one foot further than Miguel Cabrera's 466-foot bomb he hit in 2012.

Martinez's home run is tied for the 10th longest of the season in the majors, according to ESPN.

Oddly enough, Martinez also holds the record for the longest home run ever hit by a visiting at Comerica Park. Back in 2013, Martinez smashed a 464-foot home run as a member of the Houston Astros.

Martinez, who is batting .287, has 27 home runs this year.
