Have a night, Jose Siri.

Gelof hit the ball with an exit velocity of 107.7 mph. It had an expected batting average of .810 and would've been a home run in 24 of MLB's 30 stadiums.
With the game remaining tied at 3-3, Siri stepped up to the plate with a runner on third base and ripped a walk-off RBI single to catapult the Rays to a 4-3 victory.
