Jackie Bradley Jr.'s tape-measure homer on Friday night wasn’t quite Ronald Acuña Jr.-level in terms of Statcast metrics, but it was fairly impressive in its own right. And with Bradley’s career with the Red Sox possibly winding down this weekend, it was a blast to savor. Maybe even a parting one.

Bradley cranked a solo homer with an exit velocity of 109.1 mph and a projected distance of 447 feet in the Red Sox's 8-7 loss to the Braves in 11 innings at Truist Park.

“I don’t know if that’s the farthest one he’s hit, but I’ll tell you what, it was hit hard,” said Red Sox manager Ron Roenicke. “It came off hot. I don’t know what the miles per hour were, but it had to be pretty high.”

Freddie Freeman ended the game with a two-run, walk-off homer against lefty Jeffrey Springs. The Red Sox tied it in the top of the ninth, took a two-run lead in the 10th and held a one-run lead in the 11th, but they couldn’t hang on.

On a night Roenicke decided to keep two key bats out of the starting lineup in Xander Bogaerts and Rafael Devers, he inserted Bradley into the No. 4 spot. Hitting cleanup for just the second time in his career, Bradley played the part.

His prodigious drive tied the game four innings after Acuña belted a leadoff homer 495 feet off Red Sox righty Chris Mazza. For Bradley, it was his second-longest home run tracked by Statcast dating back to 2015 and the longest for him this season.

And now the question lingers: Will it be the last one he hits for Boston?

Bradley, who is eligible for free agency in the offseason, was taken by the Red Sox in the first round of the 2011 MLB Draft. He has been the team’s primary center fielder since 2014 and was a core member of a World Series championship team in ‘18.

The notoriously streaky Bradley is ending the season in one of his patented grooves. Since Aug. 25, Bradley has a line of .314/.397/.490 with six doubles, four homers and 13 RBIs.

“And it’s just fun watching him,” Roenicke said. “He’s confident. I had him fourth today. We can move him around where we want to and he seems to hit wherever we put him. Good for him to do this in a tough year and being a free agent.

“Sometimes that puts a lot of pressure on guys and they’re not able to perform as well, and Jackie has had to step up off the field, too, when things have happened this year. Now, he’s stepping up on the field, and it’s great to see.”
