Description: MLB & Fanatics Authenticated - Mike Zunino 108th Career HOME RUN Off Luis Avilan. Shipped USPS Priority. Buyer pays shipping and handling. On August 20, 2020, the Tampa Bay Rays visited the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium. John Curtiss opened for the Rays, while James Paxton started for the Yankees. Heading into the top of the sixth, the Yankees were up 4-3 off homers by Gio Urshela and Luke Voit. Adam Ottavino was now on the mound for the Yankees. Yandy Diaz led off with a double. Brandon Lowe walked. Ji-Man Choi lined out to Brett Gardner. Willy Adames struck out. Manuel Margot singled over Tyler Wade’s glove to Mike Tauchman in LF, scoring Diaz. Luis Avilan came in to pitch. Joey Wendle smacked a double off the RF wall to score Lowe. Mike Zunino then walked to the plate. AVILAN HELD THIS BALL IN HIS HAND!! He started with a 90.7 mph sinker for a called strike. (Yes, that means Erik Kratz also touched this ball!!) Avilan then threw a changeup in the dirt. This ball remained in play. On the third pitch, Avilan threw another sinker that ended up a ball. On the fourth pitch, Avilan threw a changeup, and ZUNINO BLASTED THIS BALL 389 FEET OVER THE LEFT FIELD WALL FOR A THREE-RUN HOME RUN — ZUNINO’S FOURTH (and last) OF THE 2020 SEASON AND THE 108th OF HIS CAREER (by my count). Mike Brosseau doubled and then Austin Meadows ended the half inning by lining out. The Rays went on to win 10-5. This ball is MLB Authenticated for all four pitches from Avilan to Zunino, including Zunino’s home run. The ball is also authenticated by Fanatics. Please note that this ball does not come with a case. Thank you for purchasing!!
