CLEVELAND — This is a moment you have to see and if you've already watched it, then watch it again: Yasiel Puig delivering a bases-loaded single off the right field wall with two outs in the 10th inning, giving the Indians a 2-1 walk off win against the Detroit Tigers.
As Puig delivered the game-winning hit, the moment his teammates rushed the field was just as magical.

“I’m feeling good because this is my first walkoff with this team, finally,” Puig told the Associated Press, exhaling. “The inning before, I told Lindor and a couple of players, ‘Hey, I’m going to finish this one with a home run.’ I didn’t get that, but I got the single to win the game.
The Indians are four games behind first-place Minnesota in the AL Central. Cleveland is a half-game back of Tampa Bay for the second wild card, AP reports.
