Milwaukee Brewers star Christian Yelich called game.
Yelich ended Tuesday night's game against the Boston Red Sox at American Family Field in Milwaukee with a monster grand slam walk-off home run in the bottom of the 10th inning to give the Brewers a 5-1 victory.
Brice Turang started the activity for the Brewers' offense in the 10th inning, as his single off of Red Sox reliever Liam Hendriks sent Joey Ortiz to third base. Hendriks, who replaced Aroldis Chapman, then walked Jackson Chourio before William Contreras flied out to left field. With the bases loaded, Yelich stepped on the plate, looking to drive at least one run.
Instead, he sent Ortiz, Turang, Chourio and himself all home with just one swing. Yelich took a ball first from Hendriks before a strike on the second pitch. On his third pitch to the former National League Most Valuable Player, Hendrik threw an 85 mph slider that Yelich sent into orbit.
