Carlos Santana’s three-run blast sinks Pirates in extras

Carlos Santana blasted a three-run moonshot over the foul pole in left to push the Cleveland Indians past the Pittsburgh Pirates, 6-3, in extra innings.

With the score knotted at 3-3 in the tenth inning, Santana stepped to the plate with Francisco Lindor and César Hernández at first and second, respectively, and one out. He turned on a fastball on the inside of the zone and sent it packing 442 feet, straddling the foul line the whole way. The replay crew gave it a look but upheld the home run, and Santana proceeded to dance with his teammates in the dugout in celebration of the go-ahead homer.
