Watch Addison Russell's World Series grand slam
The buzz at Progressive Field, the good vibes in Cleveland -- Addison Russell squashed it all with one swing of the bat.
The Indians are one game away from clinching their first World Series since 1948. Heading into a critical Game 6 on Tuesday, Cleveland could almost taste the champagne. But Russell, the Cubs' 22-year-old All-Star, made sure there would be no premature celebrations.
With the bases loaded in the third inning, Russell smashed a grand slam to left-center field, giving the Cubs a 7-0 lead.
