8 Ribbies from the 8th inning on for Cleveland Guardians' Josh Naylor last night [View all]
It was a performance that no one in baseball had ever seen before. An RBI-double in the eighth paired with a game-tying grand slam in the ninth and a deciding three-run blast in the 11th by Naylor not only secured the Guardians a 12-9 victory over the White Sox, but it made Naylor the only player since RBIs became official in 1920 to knock in at least eight runs from the eighth inning on in a single game, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

Naylor has sealed his title as the most clutch guy on the team now. So happy for him, since he was out most of the season last year after breaking his ankle and tearing some tendons.
A nice piece about him in the PD yesterday giving his mom most of the credit keeping him focused during his long healing and rehab.
