Welcome back up to the big leagues Paulo Orlando.
The Kansas City Royals outfielder was recalled from Triple-A prior to Tuesday's game, just in time to offer some late-game heroics.
Making his first career plate appearance with the bases loaded, the 29-year-old connected on an 81-mph changeup from Tampa Bay Rays All-Star reliever Brad Boxberger in the ninth inning and deposited it over the left-field wall for the walk-off grand slam, giving the Royals a 9-5 win.

Orlando spent 10 seasons in the minors before making his major league debut in April.
