Remember when the New York Yankees took the late lead over the Tampa Bay Rays on a two-run homer by Aaron Judge? Well, the Yankees weren't done there. The Bombers loaded the bases, eager to add to their 4-3 lead and Didi Gregorius stepped up to the plate. He delivered a massive grand slam deep to right-center field to extend the Yankees lead to 8-3.

And boy was he hyped while rounding the bases, arms in air celebrating with his teammates in the dugout.

Gregorius' slam was the fourth of his career and it gave the Yankees some added run protection in a pivotal AL East matchup.
