Devon Travis is a man possessed.

The Toronto Blue Jays second baseman entered Friday's contest against the Texas Rangers in the midst of a nine-game hitting streak, which he extended in a big way during the game's second inning.

With the bases loaded and none out, Travis crushed an A.J. Griffin offering deep over the left-field fence to give his team a 4-1 lead. The ball traveled 361 feet.

Travis was hitting .409/.409/.773 with nine hits, two home runs, and five RBIs entering Friday's game. It was his second career grand slam.
