What a night for the Cincinnati Reds, man. The team has just had so many incredible moments against the Dodgers.
First, Elly De La Cruz absolutely floored the entire stadium with this incredible home run. The ball completely cleared the stadium, which is just so impressive. And what makes it even more impressive is that this was his first career homer.
But, speaking of first-career homers, Will Benson decided to chip in with his first, too. The only difference is that this one ended the game.
Benson stepped up to the plate and absolutely drilled the ball into right field. He watched it go out there, too. What a play.
Will Benson's first career home run is a walk-off winner!
The second consecutive walk-off win for the Rally @Reds over the Dodgers!
What a night! 🔥🔥#ATOBTTR pic.twitter.com/CHFWzo8PQT

SHEEEEEEEESH. Like I said, what a moment. Believe it or not, though, this isn’t even the best part.
It’s the celebration, y’all. Benson went wild.

The bat spike. The explosion. The joy. It’s all just so fantastic. This angle is even better.

He’s struggled this season, but his hits have been timely, none more than that walk-off homer!#ATOBTTR #Reds https://t.co/bIFObAl7fI
