Cleveland Indians erase 9th-inning deficit, win game on inside-the-park home run
On Friday night, the AL East-leading Toronto Blue Jays visited the AL Central-leading Cleveland Indians at Progressive Field. With the Blue Jays ahead 2-1 headed into the ninth inning, Jose Ramirez tied the game at two with a solo homer to right field.
Next up: Tyler Naquin, who entered the game as a pinch hitter in the seventh inning. With the count one ball and two strikes, what happened next was nothing short of madness:
