Christian Yelich connected on a 499-foot home run in the Milwaukee Brewers' 10-7 win over the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday night.

It was the third-longest home run since Statcast started tracking homers in 2015 -- Nomar Mazara hit a 505-foot shot in 2019 and Giancarlo Stanton hit a 504-footer at Colorado in 2016.

"That's kind of just one of those ones where everything kind of lines up for you and you catch it in a really good spot," Yelich said. "Oddly enough, my first homer here in nine or 10 times playing. So I guess if you're going to wait that long make it count."

Yelich joked that Statcast should have just made the distance a nice, round 500 feet.

"At least give me the extra foot," he said with a smile.
