Xander Bogaerts helped the Boston Red Sox begin a new winning streak Saturday afternoon.
The game would need extra innings to decide the winner after Boston came back to tie the game at two in the ninth against the Toronto Blue Jays.
With the bases juiced in the 10th, Bogaerts took a 2-0 pitch into the center-field bleachers to give the Sox the walk-off win.
Take a look:

Incredible.
The blast marked the 25-year-old’s 15th homer of the season, and his third grand slam for Boston this year. Bogaerts becomes the first Red Sox player to hit a walk-off grand slam since Rico Brogna on August 14, 2000 against the Tampa Bay Rays.
