Kyle Schwarber was in jubilant mood after smashing a record-making homer in the Boston Red Sox’s 12-3 defeat of the Houston Astros in Game 3 of their American League Championship Series at Fenway Park. Schwarber hit another grand slam for the Red Sox, who now lead the Astros 2-1, making them the first MLB team to hit three slams in a single series having hit two in Game 2.

The Red Sox are the first team to have three slams in the postseason since the 1998 Atlanta Braves. J.D. Martinez and Rafael Devers achieved slams in the second game, while Schwarber cleared the bases in the second inning on Monday in Boston and he revelled in a moment of glory.
