Christian Yelich's Walk-Off Grand Slam Lifts Brewers over Boston

In the 10th inning on Tuesday night, Christian Yelich delivered his first career walk-off grand slam, securing a 5-1 victory for the Milwaukee Brewers against the Boston Red Sox.
The Brewers tied the game in the ninth inning off closer Aroldis Chapman, who then blew his first save of the season, setting up Yelich's opportunity.
Yelich, a left-handed hitter in his 13th season and eighth with Milwaukee, drove a 108.5 mph 1-1 slider from Liam Hendriks over the right-center wall for his sixth career grand slam.
Yelich recorded two hits in five at-bats, including a homer and a double, driving in four runs, crossing the plate twice, and stealing one base. He entered the game with a batting average of.205 and led the team with 30 RBIs.
The Brewers secured their third consecutive victory and their fourth win in six games, while Yelich expressed that finally achieving his first walk-off home run was a special moment for him.
