There comes a time in every pitcher's life when he gives up a monstrous home run to Yoenis Cespedes. For Dan Straily, whom the Miami Marlins acquired just a couple months ago, that time came Thursday afternoon at First Data Field.

During the fourth inning of the New York Mets' eventual 11-6 victory, Cespedes absolutely unloaded on an 89-mph fastball from Straily, depositing his first Grapefruit League home run over the batter's eye in straightaway centre field, well over 410 feet away.

"I've played with these guys way too long to know what happens when you throw Cespedes four straight fastballs," Straily told MLB.com's Anthony DiComo afterward.
