WASHINGTON-- Franchy Cordero entered Tuesday's game without a home run since April 28, a stretch of over 65 at-bats and 21 games played. He had also been battling an undisclosed injury, which had held him out of the two games prior.
In his second at-bat of the night off Nats starter Jeremy Hellickson, the left-handed hitting outfielder ended his home run drought with a big swing. Ahead 2-1 in the count, Cordero crushed an 86 mile-per-hour slider 449 feet into the second deck in right-center field. The ball left Cordero's bat at 112 mph and was his seventh on the season.
Cordero now leads all of baseball with four home runs over 440 feet.
