Watch Red Sox’s Steve Pearce Smack Go-Ahead, 456-Foot Homer In Game 3
Steve Pearce was doing it all for the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday.
In Game 3 of the Red Sox’s American League Championship Series matchup with the Houston Astros, Pearce put his defensive abilities at first base on full display, and he also came up with a pretty huge hit at Minute Maid Park.
With the game locked up at two in the top of the sixth inning, Pearce drilled a solo homer to left off Astros reliever Joe Smith.

Did the shot look like an absolute missile? Well, that’s because it was.
456 feet on the Pearce homer, 107 mph, 28 degrees. An absolute blast.

In his last at-bat, Pearce was robbed of a would-be RBI extra-base hit thanks to a nice — albeit controversial — grab by Tony Kemp.
Suffice to say he made up for it in the sixth.
