By Ryan Flores
Tyler White just redeemed himself in the eyes of Astros fans. During Sunday's matchup between the Houston Astros and the New York Yankees, the Astros first baseman smoked a grand slam off of J.A. Happ to extend the lead over the Yankees to 6-0.
Short porch, counts.

Who cares if it was to one of the shortest porches in baseball? Still counts for four runs!
White has had a rather lackluster season so far, posting a .228 batting average with 2 homers and 11 RBI heading into Sunday's game. This slam could be exactly what the doctor ordered to get him out of the season-long slump he's been mired in.
