    A few weeks ago the two big concerns were Yordan and Verlander. Tonight feels good.

    I wonder if this is the MLB record for total number of feet for three home runs in a game.

    He's over 1300 I believe.

    Story had 1380 feet of home runs but that was in Colorado. So huge asterisk there.

    All three of his homers are over 430 feet. That has to be some type of record or close to it.

    Crazy that Comerica Park would of held two of Yordans bombs in the park. What an albatross of a field.

    Yup, game 1 of the 2017 ALDS. I think his only other HR that postseason was the 3 run game tying HR in game 5 of the WS.

    Yes, against Boston in '17.

    However, Postseason stats do not count for career stats (or events, or things, or whatevers)
