WATCH: Marcell Ozuna launched a 417-foot homer to get the Braves on the board
Marcell Ozuna just launched a 417-foot homer over the left-field wall to get the Braves on the board.
The Mets scored three runs in the top of the second, but the Braves were able to respond with their own run in the bottom.
Ozuna ripped a 1-2 slider coming off the bat at 108 mph.
There is no question that Ozuna has a ton of power in his bat.
The Braves will look to scratch back into this game which isn't all that difficult for this prolific offense.
Let's take a look at Ozuna's deep homer.
