Andrew Vaughn made a successful debut for the Milwaukee Brewers by hitting a three-run home run against the Los Angeles Dodgers. He replaced injured first baseman Rhys Hoskins after being called up from Triple-A. Vaughn's homer came off All-Star pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto, showcasing his power with a 409-foot hit. Milwaukee had acquired Vaughn in a trade with the White Sox, where he struggled before making a strong debut. Additionally, Romy Gonzalez had a notable game for the Boston Red Sox, hitting a 454-foot home run against the Colorado Rockies.
In his first at-bat against All-Star pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Vaughn connected with a 2-2 slider at the top of the zone. The ball left his bat at 101.8 mph and flew 409 feet to left center field for a three-run home run.
Milwaukee acquired Vaughn on June 13 in a trade with the White Sox, sending veteran right-handed pitcher Aaron Civale and cash considerations to Chicago.
Vaughn had career-low numbers across the board to begin the 2025 season with the White Sox, slashing .189/.218/.314. But his Brewers career is off to a good start, going 1-for-2 with two runs, a home run, one walk and three RBIs in a 9-1 win over the Dodgers.
Gonzalez added an insurance run in the eighth inning with his fourth home run of the season. He lunged for a curveball at the bottom of the zone and drove it a whopping 454 feet over the center field fence with an exit velocity of 111.1 mph.
