The Los Angeles Dodgers had just wrapped up a two-run top of the eighth inning to tie Game 1 of the 2016 NLCS at three runs apiece. The Chicago Cubs, trying their best to salvage a win at Wrigley Field, loaded the bases before sending pinch hitter Miguel Montero to the plate.
Moments later, the Friendly Confines were shaking and the noise could be heard from blocks away. Montero blasted a grand slam — only the third in a pinch-hit at-bat in MLB postseason history — to right field for an 8-4 lead, one the Cubs wouldn’t give up.
