Carlos Santana crushed a go-ahead home run in the 10th inning of Wednesday night’s duel with the Mets. It was his third such blast in the ninth inning or later in less than three weeks. Unlike his first two, the one he hit on Wednesday wasn’t enough to give the Cleveland Indians a win.
In an eerily similar yet upside-down turn of events, Brad Hand took the mound to close the game after Santana’s heroics, as opposed to before them. The Tribe’s 3-2 lead in extras wouldn’t last very long.
Amed Rosario led off the bottom of the 10th with a double, which is somewhere near the very bottom of the list of what the Indians were hoping for to start the inning.
