Kipnis’ 9th Inning Grand Slam Lifts Indians to 4-1 Win Over White Sox; Three Takeaways

1. Kip’s Heroics

Jason Kipnis could not have picked a better time for his 1000th career-hit, a no-doubt about it grand slam that lifted the Tribe to the 4-1 win.

The slam was the 17th homer of the year for Kipnis, and in a season in which he’s still at times scuffling at the plate (.229 on the season), he’s still trying his best, and it paid off in a HUGE way on Wednesday leading the team to the win.

And yes, he was able to get the ball back after the win from a fan, who in return got an autographed ball.
