Colorado Rockies shortstop Trevor Story went deep on Wednesday night.

Really deep.

Three times.

In an unreal power display, Story hit three home runs in a 5-3 win over the San Francisco Giants Wednesday night at Coors Field.

Story hit a 459-foot home run in the first inning.

Then in the fifth, Story hit the longest home run in Coors Field history, a 505-foot blast.

Giancarlo Stanton of the Marlins had previously hit the longest home run at Coors Field, a 504-foot shot on August 6, 2016.

His third home run was a 416-footer in the sixth.

That's a total of 1,380 feet of long balls.

Wow.

Story hit all three homers off Giants starter Andrew Suarez and finished 3-4 with three home runs, three RBIs and three runs scored.

The win, combined with the Dodgers 7-3 loss to the Mets, gives the Rockies a one-and-a-half game lead over L.A. in the N.L. West.

The Diamondbacks were off and they now trail the Rockies by two games.

Here are the calls of Story's home runs, in order. KOA NewsRadio's Jack Corrigan called the first two while Jerry Schemmel had the call of the third one.
