The San Diego Padres continue to show that they mean business this season.
The Padres beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 8-5 on Sunday in the most thrilling way possible — on a walk-off grand slam. Hunter Renfroe belted a 2-out grand slam in the bottom of the 9th inning of Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen to win the game. The best part is he did it as a pinch-hitter.

His bat drop was the exclamation point on top of the big hit:

It doesn’t get any better than that.
Despite hitting just .227 on the season, Renfroe is now up to seven home runs — none bigger than that. His Padres are now 19-16 this season.
