Top of the 9th inning with two outs, the Seattle Mariners were trailing the Arizona Diamondbacks 4-2 and were down to their last chance of the game. In storybook fashion, it was former Diamondbacks outfielder Dominic Canzone (traded to Seattle in 2023) who was at the plate, representing the tying run, with a perfect revenge-narrative opportunity just hours after getting called up from his recent stint in the minors.

As if it couldn't be scripted any better, on the last inning two-out/full-count pitch, Canzone hit a 450-foot bomb (115.9 mph off the bat) that landed near the upper deck at Chase Field, to tie the game 4-4.

To point out, Canzone was just recalled from Triple-A affiliate Tacoma Monday morning, and after being substituted back into a Major League game as a pinch-hitter that same night, he certainly capitalized on this opportunity.
DOM CANZONE WELCOME BACK TO THE SHOW!!! Revenge game, bat flip king. Love it!

Notably, this was actually the longest home run of the year for the Mariners.

However, with the game still all tied up in the bottom of the 11th inning, Diamondbacks first baseman Josh Naylor was able to answer with a walk-off grand slam, making the final score 8-4.

As for Canzone, certainly the 27-year-old slugger out of Ohio State has shown he has what it takes to be in the Mariners lineup moving forward.
