WATCH: Brewers Tyrone Taylor Hits 1st MLB Homer (It Was Off an Outfielder)
Tyrone Taylor went 15 games last year and five games this year without a home run. The on Wednesday, he found himself in a fortuitous situation, facing Travis Demeritte, an outfielder from the Tigers, who had been inserted as a pitcher because they were down by like 100 runs. On the second pitch, a batting practice 81-mph fastball, he went big fly for his first-ever big-league dong. Check it out.
That's @tyrone_taylor15's first @MLB HR, making it a 4-hit day for him!
It also sets a new Brewers franchise record with 13 extra-base hits as the Crew leads 19-0.#ThisIsMyCrew pic.twitter.com/tn0SGTBBKx
