In the upper part of the third inning, the star shortstop found a minimum difference of 1×0 in favor of his team on the board. The pads were clean and there was one out in the chapter. Meanwhile, on the mound of sighs, the local starter, Michael Pineda, tried to dominate the batters to keep his team close on the board.
Pineda failed to contain the Puerto Rican’s power. The first delivery to the pentagon was an 88.7 mph fastball, which stayed in his comfort zone for the former Houston Astros player. Correa took advantage of the launch to shake the ball. The contact was solid. That ball reached an initial speed of 103.6 mph and traveled 426 feet from center field.
The connection meant the first home run of the season against his rivals on duty. In this campaign, Correa accumulated, before the start of the match, 25 times at bat, with seven hits, including three doubles, two runs scored and teammates driven towards the register.
