Harry Ford hits first MLB home run for Washington Nationals

sportsJul 18, 202622139

Harry Ford hit his first Major League home run for the Washington Nationals, a 358-foot two-run shot off Justin Sterner. Ford had been recalled from the Rochester Red Wings and belted the homer in his first big-league game with Washington. The two-run blast provided immediate offense for the Nationals and marked Ford's first career RBI at the Major League level. Teammates and beat coverage noted the milestone as Ford's debut highlight after the club added him to the roster.

Exhaustive research confirms that Bryce Eldridge's home run off Bryce Miller is the first Bryce-off-Bryce home run in MLB history. Important to append, however: Brice Turang (who obviously spells his name differently) hit a home run against Bryce Elder in 2023.

I think Bryce Harper took Elder deep in the playoffs a few years ago?

🤖 Justice delos Santos Willy Adames had an objectively underwhelming first half, but his second half begins with a very impressive opposite-field grand slam that busts this game wide open. It's 7-0. Home Run: 16 Distance: 393 feet Exit Velo: 105.5 mph

Kiké was trying to leave and came running back in to congratulate Hyeseong after he hit his first home run of the season as a Comet. Ryan Fitzgerald then went yard and Kiké was stuck.
