There’s no better MLB highlight than a walk-off Grand Slam. Jackie Bradley Jr. has already made a few noteworthy highlights this season, and put his glove on display once again Tuesday. Mike Trout took the weekend off after having his newborn child. He wasted no time in getting re-acclimated to big league pitching, while some of the premier pitchers on the mound today made their presence felt.
Enjoy the best highlights from Tuesday’s MLB action all in one place:
The A’s might’ve been trailing in the 9th inning if it wasn’t for Matt Chapman getting the squad on the scoreboard in the 7th.A’s. WALK OFF.

Jackie Bradley Jr. mans Center Field in Fenway Park unlike any other defender in baseball. The large area makes it difficulty for one player to be able to cover so much ground, but for the speedy JBJ, he turns 5-star catches into a routine grabs.

Mike Trout is the unquestioned best player in the game. When he takes a few days off, it’s a lot different than most players. The Angels got their MVP back on Tuesday and he wasted no time in getting right back to launching balls into orbit.

With the game tied 2-2 in the 7th inning, Manager Dave Roberts called on the $55M man AJ Pollock to pinch-hit, and he delivered with a RBI double to take the lead. Then the 32-year-old followed that up with a solo shot in the 9th to end the night 2-2 with 2 of the team’s 5 RBIs.

Rafael Devers thought he was going to get contact on this ball, but not only did his bat miss the ball completely, but the only thing the ball made contact with was Devers himself on this disgusting slider.

Jose Ramirez is one of the most underrated defenders at the hot corner, continuously getting outshined by the likes of Matt Chapman or Nolan Arenado. However, Ramirez proved once again what he’s capable of on the defensive side of the ball at the toughest infield position on the diamond.
Shane Bieber gave up a couple of solo shots, but other than that, he was shutting down Cleveland’s inter-state rival. The offense wasn’t able to do anything against opposing pitcher Tyler Mahle, but once the bullpen came in, the Indians started pouncing, and Franmil Reyes turned a 2-0 comeback into a 4-2 lead with the clutch dinger.

Before the season, not many would’ve predicted Nicholas Castellanos to be the early MVP favorite, but that’s exactly what has occurred for the 28-year-old during his inaugural season in Cincinnati. Even if he wanted to, he couldn’t stop hitting bombs at this rate.
