Merry Big Christmas, Cleveland.
There have been 121 years of Major League Baseball playoff games. In 121 years, there has never been a game-tying home run from a pinch-hitter with two outs in the ninth inning or later. Until tonight.

We saw a miracle tonight, folks. And, no, I’m not even referring to an Austin Hedges double which somehow also featured in this game. I’m talking about this absolute blast from Jhonkensy Noel, 23 year-old from San Pedro de Macoris in the Dominican Republic, off of Luke Weaver, a player who has been absolutely nails in this playoffs.
