Mookie Betts sure is justifying his 2018 All-Star Game selection.
With the Boston Red Sox trailing the Toronto Blue Jays 2-1 in the fourth inning Thursday night, Betts put together an unforgettable at-bat with the bases loaded and two outs against starter J.A. Happ. Betts fouled off numerous pitches before finally belting the 13th (!) pitch of the at-bat over the Green Monster for a grand slam.

We’re pretty sure that baseball has yet to land.
The home run was impressive but Betts’ reaction also was one for the books.
The home run marked the 23rd of the season for the 25-year-old and gave Boston a 5-2 lead.
