Mariners' Franklin Gutierrez blasts second-longest homer of season image

When your home run is only two feet shy of Giancarlo Stanton's longest of the season, you know it traveled far. 

Mariners slugger Franklin Gutierrez and about everyone else at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati on Saturday knew Gutierrez's homer off Reds starter John Lamb was one for the ages as the ball landed well into the left-field upper-deck bleachers after what seemed to be an eternity in the atmosphere. 

Check out the moonshot. 

According to MLB.com's Statcast, Gutierrez's fourth-inning, three-run blast measured 473 feet, the second-longest homer of the MLB season behind only Stanton's 475-foot blast on May 6 off Hector Neris.

Gutierrez's second home run of the season had an exit velocity of 112 mph and a launch angle of 29 degrees.

Leonys Martín also went deep for the Mariners in a 4-0 win over the Reds.
