There can only be one and Yoenis Cespedes is on top for the time being.

On Monday, the New York Mets slugger hammered a long home run off Gio Gonzalez to deep center field to take over sole possession atop the major-league leaderboard for home runs, passing Colorado Rockies third baseman Nolan Arenado.

The blast was Cespedes' 32nd home run since joining the Mets on Aug. 1, 2015, matching Chris Davis and Khris Davis for the most in MLB, according to ESPN Stats & Info.
