July brought the heat — and the power — across MLB, with some seriously towering home runs.
The month's top-10 list includes big-time shots from some breakout rookies, as well two appearances by Braves slugger Ronald Acuña Jr.
Here are the top 10 longest home runs from July in partnership with Data Scientist Kirk Goldsberry:
MLB Top 10 Longest Home Runs in July | MLB on FOX
1. Denzel Clarke (Athletics) – 471 feet vs. Giants – July 4
The A's rookie outfielder celebrated Independence Day with a literal blast that landed on top of the visitors' clubhouse well beyond the wall at Sacramento's Sutter Health Park. Clarke's 471-foot shot off Giants right-hander Mason Black deep was not only the longest of July, it was the fifth-longest homer by an A's player in the Statcast Era (since 2015).

2. Ronald Acuña Jr. (Braves) – 468 feet vs. Royals – July 28
Acuña turned on a hanging curveball from veteran lefty Rich Hill and crushed it deep to left-center. The ball cleared the fountains that landed in the seats. It would have been a great way to end the month, but Acuña did get placed on the IL two days later due to Achilles tightness.
3. Jac Caglianone (Royals) – 466 feet vs. Pirates – July 9
The Royals' power-hitting rookie made a statement with this no-doubt blast off Bailey Falter. The 466-foot moonshot was the longest of his young MLB career and was dubbed a "three-wall" home run for clearing the center field waterfall at Kauffman Stadium.
4. Michael Taylor (White Sox) – 464 feet vs. Rockies – July 5
Coors Field is a home run haven, and Taylor took full advantage. Facing Ryan Rolison, he blasted a 464-foot shot to straightaway center in the ninth inning. It's the longest homer of Taylor's career.
5. Jordan Westburg (Orioles) – 461 feet vs. Braves – July 5
Westburg's power continued to shine amid a down season for the Orioles. His blast off Aaron Bummer landed deep into the waterworks in deep center field at Truist Park, his longest of his career.
6. Oneil Cruz (Pirates) – 458 feet vs. Royals – July 8
Cruz's towering homer off Seth Lugo sailed over the outfield wall and into the Kauffman waterfalls (yet another splashdown). It was only a fitting performance for the 6-foot-7 slugger who also announced he would participate in the Home Run Derby on the same day.
T-7. Ronald Acuña Jr. (Braves) – 456 feet vs. Yankees – July 20
Acuña makes his second appearance on the list with another tape-measure shot -- this time off Yankees reliever Devin Williams. Acuña's homer was only overshadowed by Aaron Judge hitting his 351st career HR on the same day, surpassing Alex Rodriguez for sixth on the Yankees all-time list.
T-7. Jarren Duran (Red Sox) - 456 feet vs. Rockies – July 8
The Red Sox knocked this ball out into the seats in deep center field for the longest homer so far at Fenway Park. It was also Duran's longest homer of his career.
T-7. Cole Young (Mariners) – 456 feet vs. Rangers – July 31
Young's home run in the final MLB game of the month was originally measured at 470 feet before it was shortened to its official length. In the same game, Cal Raleigh hit his 42nd homer as he remains the leader in the overall race in the majors.
10. Romy Gonzalez (Red Sox) – 454 feet vs. Rockies – July 7
Gonzalez connected on a Ryan Rolison pitch and sent it screaming over the Green Monster, which originally tied for the longest homer at Fenway Park for the season before Duran's shot the next day eclipsed it by two feet.

American League-leading Blue Jays go deep 5 times in a 10-4 win over Rockies
DENVER (AP) — Daulton Varsho hit a pair of two-run homers and a two-run double, and the American League-leading Toronto Blue Jays went deep five times in a 10-4 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday night. Varsho homered after Alejandro Kirk's two-out single off Anthony Molina in the fourth to give Toronto (67-48) a 3-2 lead. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (three hits) and Addison Barger both homered for the 17th time — hitting back-to-back shots leading off the sixth. Kirk walked and scored on Varsho's 11th homer to cap the four-run inning. Varsho's double came in a three-run ninth to complete the scoring. Nathan Lukes had two hits and hit his 10th homer — a two-out shot in the third for Toronto's first run. Bo Bichette contributed two hits, a day after hitting two homers and driving in six runs in a 15-1 victory. José Berríos (8-4) allowed four runs, three earned, in 5 1/3 innings. Tommy Nance pitched a scoreless ninth to end it. Hunter Goodman hit his 22nd homer, a two-run shot in the first for Colorado. Mickey Moniak and Warming Bernabel chased Berríos with consecutive RBI singles, pulling the Rockies within 7-4. Molina (0-1) allowed seven runs on nine hits in five innings in his second career start. Jaden Hill allowed three runs on four hits in the ninth. Toronto has 39 hits in the first two games after collecting 25 in the opener — one off the club record for a two-games stretch. Key moment Yariel Rodríguez replaced Berríos with one out and runners at the corners and retired Thairo Estrada on an inning-ending double play to keep it 7-4. Estrada left after appearing to injure his leg. Key stat Varsho's second homer — a 467-foot shot to the upper deck in right — was the longest of his career and the longest by a Blue Jay this season. Up next Toronto RHP Kevin Gausman (7-8, 3.99 ERA) starts Wednesday against Colorado LHP Kyle Freeland (2-11, 5.26) in the series finale. ___ AP MLB:

Mets pull Clay Holmes after five as innings count becomes a factor
Access the Mets beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Mike Puma about the inside buzz on the Mets. Try it free Clay Holmes posted four 1-2-3 innings and one shaky frame in which he yielded two runs to land at 75 pitches in a tie game through five. Carlos Mendoza made the decision there to pull Holmes and turn to his revamped bullpen, but the skidding Mets went on to drop a 3-2 decision to the Guardians for their seventh loss in eight games. Advertisement Holmes didn't have a major issue with the quick hook as he navigates his way through a rising innings total during his first full year as a starting pitcher over parts of eight seasons in the major leagues. 'I was feeling good. Obviously, it's not really my call, but I think just all things considered, he felt like it was best to go to the pen there, but I was feeling good,' Holmes said afterward. 'Just one of those things, when you're in a pennant race and you have a bullpen like we do, and the game's really close, there's going to be some of those decisions where everything's not really in your control. 'So he made the decision he thought was best for the team and best for the win.' Advertisement Holmes was replaced by Gregory Soto in the sixth, and the Guardians scratched across the go-ahead run against Tyler Rogers one inning later. Holmes had retired the first nine batters he faced and was staked to an early 2-0 lead. Cleveland tied the score in the fourth on RBI singles by Kyle Manzardo and Gabriel Arias before Holmes recorded another scoreless inning in the fifth. Clay Holmes, who allowed two runs over five innings, throws a pitch during the Mets' 3-2 loss to the Guardians on Aug. 5, 2025. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post Advertisement CHECK OUT THE LATEST MLB STANDINGS AND METS STATS 'We're set up bullpen wise there, third time through [the lineup],' Mendoza explained. '[Holmes] was really good the first time through, and then we saw the second time, that fourth inning, they gave him a hard time. 'So I knew I was going to be aggressive there. … But he did his part. He did his job.' The two-time All-Star reliever mostly has done that since signing a three-year contract worth $38 million to be a starter after mostly closing games for the Yanks the previous 3 ¹/₂ years. Advertisement Clay Holmes talks with Francisco Alvarez after giving up two runs in the third inning of the Mets' loss to the Guardians. Charles Wenzelberg / New York Post The 32-year-old righty is up to 122 ¹/₃ innings over 23 starts, 52 ¹/₃ more than his previous high with the Pirates and Yankees in 2021. 'At this point in the season, this amount of innings, I'm really kind of encouraged where I'm at. But at the same time, you can't just totally be shortsighted and just totally go by how I may be feeling now,' Holmes said. 'It's a really hard thing to do, to just go out and triple your innings. Especially because we're in a pennant race, and we plan to be playing in October, and we all need to be at our best down the stretch. 'The reality of it is, yeah, my innings are getting up there, and we just want to keep me feeling good. Right now I feel like I'm in a good spot, I've bounced back well. But there's still more to take into account than just right now.'
