Former National League MVP Christian Yelich led the Milwaukee Brewers to a 5-1 win in 10-innings on Tuesday night against the Boston Red Sox at American Family Field.

Yelich hit a walk-off grand slam against Liam Hendriks in the bottom of the 10th inning, joining some special team history of the last quarter century.

Per Francys Romero:

Yelich, 33, went 2-for-5 with the homer and four RBIs. He's now hitting .210 for the season with 10 homers, 34 RBIs and 10 stolen bases. He's carrying a .296 on-base percentage.

A 13-year veteran of the Miami Marlins and Brewers, he is a three-time All-Star and a two-time batting champion. He won the MVP in the 2018 season with Milwaukee. He hit a career-high 44 homers in 2019.

In addition to the Yelich blast at the plate, the Brewers got a solid performance on the mound from Aaron Civale and a quartet of relievers. Milwaukee is now back at .500 at 28-28 while the Red Sox have fallen to 27-30. Both teams are in fourth place in their respective divisions.

The two squads will play again on Wednesday afternoon with first pitch coming at 1:10 p.m. ET. The Red Sox will send right-hander Brayan Bello to the mound while Milwaukee counters with ace Freddy Peralta.

Bello is 2-1 with a 4.08 ERA, while Peralta has gone 5-3 with a 2.55.
