On October 13, 2013, David Ortiz delivered one of the most unforgettable home runs in Boston Red Sox history. Trailing the Detroit Tigers 5–1 in the eighth inning of Game 2 of the ALCS, Boston loaded the bases with two outs before Big Papi stepped up against Joaquín Benoit. Ortiz launched a game-tying grand slam into the right-field bullpen, sending Fenway Park into a frenzy. The Red Sox went on to win 6–5 on Jarrod Saltalamacchia's walk-off single in the ninth inning. Boston eventually won the series in six games before capturing the World Series, with Ortiz earning World Series MVP honors.
