Toronto Blue Jays utility man Addison Barger entered Sport 1 of the World Collection on Friday evening with 28 house runs in his profession. None of them in comparison with the house run he hit within the backside of the sixth inning towards the Los Angeles Dodgers.
With the Blue Jays already main 5-2 and having chased beginning pitcher Blake Snell, Barger was referred to as on as a pinch-hitter with the bases loaded.
It was at that time that he clubbed an Anthony Banda pitch into the precise middle discipline stands for a grand slam.
It was a one-of-a-kind grand slam in World Collection historical past.
