Down four points, at the top of the ninth inning with bases loaded, Washington Nationals' Darren Baker hit a game-tying grand slam Friday. The fun part: it helped his team land an 11-7 win over the Houston Astros in front of the team's general manager, his father Dusty Baker.
The Astros gave up an eight-spot in the ninth same inning before losing the four-run lead in the big league spring game. After the big hit, Darren's teammates exploded with excitement."I don't know when I've been mobbed like that in the dugout ... It was an out-of-body type of experience," he told the Houston Chronicle.after the loss.
"He didn't want to speak to me after the game," Darren said via The Houston Chronicle with a chuckle."I had to run down the third-base line and he said he'd talk to me later. The two reportedly live together in a house every spring, so Dusty won't be able to avoid the 24-year-old for long. You can see the play below along with the consolation Darren offered his father, as he offered to buy dinner via Twitter with a loving emoji.
