‘The Best in Sports’ is a daily PSO original series showcasing the best highlights, facts, and stories going on in the land of the NFL, NBA, & MLB every day. Get a recap on EVERYTHING that happened yesterday here.
Here is the best from August 11, 2019:
In the biggest at-bat of the Indians season so far, Carlos Santana stepped up with the bases loaded during a tie game in extra innings against the Twins, who had a 1-game lead in the division. After 1 swing of the bat, that lead was eliminated, and the Indians have all the momentum heading down the stretch.

Right when the O’s looked like they were going to blow another game by allowing a little-league HR in the 9th, Rio Ruiz came in the clutch with the walk-off HR that quickly removed a 2-run lead Houston had entering the bottom of the 9th, and completed the biggest upset over the last decade and a half.
