And now, Hicks hit a massive two-run home run off Logan Henderson to cap off a huge four-run first inning for the Rays.
Henderson left his cutter hanging right in the middle of the plate, allowing Hicks to square up and smash the pitch. Based on his reaction, the Brewers pitcher knew right away that the ball was out of the park.
Hicks came over to Tampa Bay during a midseason deal with the Miami Marlins. He hit four home runs with 20 home runs in 41 regular-season games with the Rays. And over 142 games with both teams, he hit .284 with 18 home runs and 82 RBIs.
