Jackie Bradley Jr., the Red Sox center fielder who at one point was batting .161 in the regular season, has turned the ALCS with two clutch, bases-clearing swings of his bat.

One game after smacking a three-RBI double to spark a Game 2 Red Sox win, Bradley hit an eighth-inning grand slam that broke open Game 3 on Tuesday, propelling Boston to an 8-2 win over the Houston Astros and a 2-1 series lead.
