Last Night In Baseball: Ketel Marte Hit A Walk-Off Homer You Have To See
- Ketel Marte smashed a walk-off homer (and a dramatic bat flip) to beat the Dodgers — his third walk-off of the season and a huge moment in Arizona’s split with L.A.
- The Cubs staged a wild ninth to win on a Pete Crow-Armstrong walk-off — Shea Langeliers also had a crazy day with a regular homer and an inside-the-park shot; Chicago now leads MLB with seven walk-offs.
- Weird baseball moment: a comebacker off Twins reliever Justin Lawrence struck the mound, ricocheted into center and allowed two Royals to score — a bizarre play that decided the game.
