Well, that’s one way to start an elimination game!
The Atlanta Braves have the Houston Astros on the ropes, with a deciding Game 5 of the 2021 World Series underway on Sunday. The Braves wasted no time in piling on runs in a hurry against the Astros, as Adam Duvall knocked home a huge grand slam in the bottom of the first to get the stadium absolutely rocking.
After Ozzie Albies was able to get on first with a fielder’s choice, Austin Riley and Eddie Rosario made their way onto the bases to load them up with two outs and Duvall set to swing. And swing he did, as Duvall hit a one-pitch grand slam to give the Braves the early 4-0 lead just like that.

The Braves stadium went absolutely bananas on the grand slam, and rightfully so! Offensively, Atlanta has just overpowered their opponents in the postseason, and Duvall put Houston on their back foot early with this absolute bomb.
Listen in on how loud the Braves stadium got on this one.
