Ramón Laureano’s three-run homer gave San Diego a 5-2 win over Colorado on April 11, with MLB measuring the drive at 388 feet. (mlb.com) The home run came in the bottom of the fourth inning with two outs, off Rockies right-hander Ryan Feltner’s 85.6 mile-per-hour changeup. MLB logged the ball at 101.3 miles per hour off the bat and a 33-degree launch angle. (mlb.com) Miguel Andújar and Freddy Fermin scored on the play, turning a 2-1 Padres lead into a four-run cushion at Petco Park. The clip then spread on social media, where one post displayed +425 home-run odds alongside the video metadata. (mlb.com) (vegasinsider.com) Laureano has been one of San Diego’s early-season contributors. MLB.com called him the Padres’ best hitter so far on April 4, after his ninth-inning go-ahead single beat Boston 3-2 at Fenway Park. (mlb.com) By April 11, the Padres were 8-6 and running second in the National League West, one game behind Los Angeles in MLB’s official standings. Colorado fell to 6-8. (mlb.com) Laureano is in his eighth Major League season and his second year with San Diego after arriving from Baltimore at the 2025 trade deadline. MLB lists the 31-year-old right fielder at 5-foot-9 and 203 pounds. (mlb.com) Baseball-Reference credited Laureano with 2 home runs and 6 runs batted in through his first 46 at-bats of 2026 before Saturday’s game. The April 11 shot was his third homer of the season, according to MLB’s game video entry. (baseball-reference.com) (mlb.com) San Diego’s recent road trip had already highlighted the club’s bench depth, with manager Craig Stammen saying after an April 8 win in Pittsburgh that the Padres built a roster that could still “do damage” on rest days for regulars. Laureano’s latest swing fit that early pattern. (mlb.com) The blast was not the longest ball on the schedule, and it did not need to be. On April 11, 388 feet was enough to put three runs on the board and keep Laureano at the center of San Diego’s first two weeks. (mlb.com)
