Of all the heroes that could of hit a walk-off grand slam in the 13th inning off of the Rays closer, Gregg Zaun would have to be pretty low on that list. That didn't seem to phase him though, as the Blue Jays catcher indeed hit a big grand slam against the Tampa Bay Rays and closer Troy Percival.
The Rays squeezed out a 3-R 9th off Jays' closer B.J. Ryan, and had a 4-3 lead going into the bottom of the 13th. Percival then gave up 2 hits, walked Rolen, and then served up the blast to Zaun. This is quite the loss for Tampa, as they now have a mere 2 game lead in the AL East and thats without Boston playing later on today.
The Good: Zaun, going 3-5 with the big Grand Slam
The Bad: Closer Troy Percival, allowing 3 hits and 1 walk in 2/3 of an inning
