Rays 7, Yankees 8: Walk-off grand slam in extras
Josh Donaldson #28 of the New York Yankees celebrates after hitting a walk-off grand slam home run in the tenth inning against the Tampa Bay Rays at Yankee Stadium on August 17, 2022 in New York City.The Rays entered this Wednesday Night competition with a series win already in hand and a chance to sweep the Yankees, and nearly had one on the backs of Yandy Diaz and Francisco Mejia, but a rain delay and wild pitching (for both sides) in extra innings made this a high scoring affair.
Let’s start with the 10th inning.
Aroldis Chapman got the call in extras and was wild as can be, walking Isaac Paredes and Taylor Walls to load the bases alongside the ghost runner.
