The Los Angeles Dodgers allowed four runs in the National League Championship Series against the Milwaukee Brewers. Addison Barger equalled that with one swing on Friday.
Barger blasted the first pinch-hit grand slam in World Series history, highlighting a nine-run bottom of the sixth and sending Rogers Centre into a frenzy.
The bases were first loaded on a walk, single and a hit-by-pitch. After Ernie Clement, Nathan Lukes, and Andrés Giménez went single-walk-single to score three, setting up Barger's big moment. The 25-year-old pinch hit for Davis Schneider and launched an Anthony Banda slider 413 feet into the right-field seats, clearing the bases.
It was only the third time in World Series history that a team scored nine or more runs in an inning, and the most since the Detroit Tigers scored 10 during Game 6 of the 1968 Fall Classic.
The historic slam and offensive outburst ignited both the the crowd and wider baseball world. Here are some of the best reactions to the Blue Jays' spectacular swings on social media.
