Dee Gordon Dunks on Chris Yelich During Post-Game Interview

Chris Yelich drove in the winning run for a Marlins extra-innings victory over the Rays. Then Dee Gordon dunked all over his face.

This seems almost too obvious to say, but I'm going to anyway: there should be more dunking in baseball.

The Marlins beat the Tampa Bay Rays 10-9 in a wild ten-inning game that saw Miami jump out to a 7-1 lead only to cough it all up in the seventh inning. The teams each added a couple of more runs and headed into the bottom of the tenth tied 9-9. Chris Yelich drove in the game-winning run with a single into left field, scoring Dee Gordon and that's when things got interesting.

Yelich was mobbed and, of course, got the post-game interview honors. Not very long into the interview, a teammate skulked behind Yelich with a hoop and Dee Gordon came out of nowhere with a monster dunk all over Yelich's face. Yelich was still feeling the effects of the posterization when he finally got back to the interview and had no idea what he was talking about before the dunk.
