Julio hit #500!


It was the top of the 7th with one man on base and the Phillies were trailing the Astros by 1 run when Julio blasted a pitch from Chris Puckett into the left field bleachers of Minute Maid Park. With that home run, the Phils took a one-run lead and Orber Julio became the first player to hit 500 career home runs. While the Astros came back to win the game, the feat will be forever remembered as the ball was sent directly to the Hall of Fame.
