Heliot Ramos Makes History with First Right-Handed Splash Hit at Oracle Park

The Giants' outfielder achieved the milestone with a game-tying home run in the ninth inning against the Padres.

Heliot Ramos became the first right-handed batter to hit a Splash Hit into McCovey Cove in Oracle Park's 25-year history.
Ramos' historic 394-foot home run came off a 100.4 mph fastball from Padres closer Robert Suarez.
The home run tied the game at 2-2 in the ninth inning, although the Giants eventually lost 4-3 in 10 innings.
Ramos, a 25-year-old All-Star, was wearing Roberto Clemente's No. 21 in honor of Roberto Clemente Day.
The ball was retrieved by McCovey Cove Dave, a well-known kayaker, who has yet to decide if he will return it to Ramos.
