Tyler Duffey's fastball stood no chance against Nelson Cruz in the fourth inning of the Seattle Mariners-Minnesota Twins game on Saturday.

Cruz absolutely crushed a 92-mph offering from Duffey into the upper deck of Target Field.

The ball traveled 493 feet, according to Statcast, making it the second-longest home run of the season behind Giancarlo Stanton's 504-foot bomb from earlier this year.

It was the 39th long ball of the season for Cruz.
