Canzone’s impact was most decisive in the seventh inning. With the game tied 4-3, he launched a 400-foot home run to right field, driving in two runs to give Seattle a 7-3 lead. He added another solo shot in the eighth inning, a 420-foot blast to left field, extending the margin.

His second home run of the day came in the ninth inning when he doubled to right field, scoring Evan Carter to make the final score 6-4.
