Michael Brantley Hits Game-Tying Grand Slam with 2 Outs in 9th vs. Rangers

Michael Brantley picked a great time to hit his first career grand slam.

With two outs in the bottom of the ninth and the Cleveland Indians trailing by four on Tuesday night, Brantley took Texas Rangers reliever Keone Kela deep over the right-field wall at Progressive Field to knot the score at six and send things to extra innings:

The Indians and Rangers remained tied through the 10th and 11th innings, but Joey Gallo and Isiah Kiner-Falefa both jacked solo shots in the top of the 12th to throttle Texas back in front by two.

Still, not a bad night's work considering Brantley opened the evening without a hit in his first four at-bats.
