MINNEAPOLIS<\/strong> | Colorado Rockies designated hitter Hunter Goodman hit three long home runs on Saturday as the Colorado Rockies beat the Minnesota Twins 8-5.<\/p>\n

Goodman crushed two no-doubters \u2014 solo shots in the first and third innings \u2014 in his first two at-bats against Twins starter Mike Paredes. The first reached the third deck in left field, a Statcast-estimated 428 feet away. The second homer also traveled 428 feet, settling in the bullpens beyond the fence in left center.<\/p>\n

Then, after grounding out in the fifth, Goodman came up with two runners on base and the Rockies leading 3-2 in the seventh. He worked the count full, then hammered a high sinker from Kody Funderburk 401 feet into the seats in left-center.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Goody gets hot, he stays hot for a while. He\u2019s a really tough guy to get out,\u201d Rockies manager Warren Schaeffer said.\n<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

The red-hot Goodman also hit a two-out, two-run homer in the ninth inning on Friday to briefly give Colorado the lead before the Twins rallied to pull out a 9-8 win in 10 innings. <\/p>\n

That 451-foot blast was the longest home run of the day, according to Baseball Savant.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s one of the most powerful swings in the game, and it shows,\u201d said Rockies third baseman Kyle Karros, who also homered on Saturday. \u201cWhen he\u2019s hot, he\u2019s hot.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old slugger has 25 home runs on the season after hitting a career-best 31 last year. Goodman, whose primary position is catcher, became the fourth backstop to reach 25 home runs before the All-Star break, joining Cal Raleigh, Ivan Rodriguez and Johnny Bench.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose are some of the all-time greats,\u201d Goodman said, \u201cand any time you can be mentioned with them, it\u2019s pretty surreal.\u201d<\/p>\n
