The Cleveland Indians created baseball history last night

The became the first team in MLB history to have a game-tying home run and a walk-off, inside-the-park home run in same inning.

THERE ARE DRAMATIC finishes, and then there is what happened at Progressive Field last night.

Trailing 2-1 going at the bottom of the ninth, Jose Ramirez held his nerve to hit a solo home run off Toronto Blue Jays closer Roberto Osuna to tie the score.

However, that would pale in comparison to what Tyler Naquin had in store when his deep drive right field went over the head of Jays outfielder Michael Saunders

The Indians outfielder took off at top speed and came all the way home for a rare walk-off, inside-the-park home run.

Indeed, it’s just the fifth time this century a team has won a game in this style.
