The IKF revenge series I am unbelievably shook - New York Yankees infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa scores first career grand slam against his former team

By Daniel Santiago Modified 08 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share New York Yankees infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa (right) celebrates after hitting his first career grand slam. Isiah Kiner-Falefa hit his first ever career grandslam against his former club, the Minnesota Twins. IKF delivered in what could be the most consequential and crucial game of the season for the New York Yankees' second half. The 27-year-old, who is a staple at shortstop, made a start at third base in the second game of the double-header between the Yankees and the Twins.

Carlos Correa struck first with a 408-foot homer to left in the top of the third. Then, in the bottom of the fourth inning, IKF countered and gave the go-ahead runs for his new squad with a grand slam. 82-54@Dreams8766@TalkinYanks The ikf revenge series27@TalkinYanks The ikf revenge series pessimism @Snickidy@TalkinYanks I AM UNBELIEVABLY SHOOK1442@TalkinYanks I AM UNBELIEVABLY SHOOK https://t.co/2fC2jsmloP Joey Kabbani@Joey_Kabbani@TalkinYanks I will not bad mouth him for the rest of the season2@TalkinYanks I will not bad mouth him for the rest of the season Bustaaa14@MatthewBusta@TalkinYanks IKF once he moved to 3B31913@TalkinYanks IKF once he moved to 3B https://t.co/dhHxJ9oZ0z It was the third home run of the season for the Hawaiian and it couldn't have come at a better time.

The ace hurler pitched 6.2 innings of one-run ball on five base hits and 14 strikeouts.

Isiah Kiner-Falefa s season with the New York Yankees

Isiah Kiner-Falefa has been hugely under the microscope since his arrival in New York. Playing shortstop for the Yankees is, needless to say, a tall order for everyone. IKF committed unforgettable blunders at short during the year. With Josh Donaldson being placed on paternity leave, IKF's start at third base, as fans suggested, might be a blessing in disguise.

Donaldson, however, is widely regarded as one of the best sluggers in the league, especially during his peak years. It might be a wild suggestion from the fanbase, but anything that the Yankees can do to conjure up momentum after slipping up will certainly help. Chris Isidore@YankeesNerdJudge still chasing Maris.

The Yankees' win over the Twins in the earlier game cemented their place in the history books by having the third-most consecutive winning seasons in major North American sports. Tomorrow, they will look to do a series sweep against the Minnesota Twins before hosting playoff and division rivals the Tampa Bay Rays.
