A day after tying Joey Gallo for the longest MLB home run in 2017 with a 462-foot moon shot, Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager celebrated his 23rd birthday in style. He hit a solo home run off San Francisco Giants starter Matt Moore with one out in the top of the first inning.

The home run was Seager's fifth of the young season, and raised his batting average to .325. It's the first time this season Seager has homered in consecutive games.
