Watch: Stanton muscles opposite-field HR out of AT&T Park

Few men who bat left-handed are capable of hitting baseballs over the treacherous right-field wall at AT&T Park. If you hit from the right side, muscling one over that high fence is little more than a pipe dream.

Unless you're Giancarlo Stanton, of course, because no quirky dimensions can hold him back. The Miami Marlins slugger pulled it off Friday night in a tremendous display of opposite-field power, muscling San Francisco Giants starter Matt Moore's offering 374 feet over AT&T's deep right-field fence to give his Marlins a 2-0 lead. Stanton didn't quite get enough to make it a "splash hit" into McCovey Cove, but the defending Home Run Derby champion did park the baseball in the second row of seats above the 365-foot marker - which is still mighty impressive at that stadium.

According to Grant Brisbee of SB Nation, Stanton's blast was the first opposite-field homer by a right-handed hitter at AT&T Park since former Giant Marlon Byrd did it in 2015.
