Evan Gattis Exposes Chest-Garden After Sumptuous Walk-Off HR

So that's where the hanging gardens of Babylon went.

Do back-to-back homers get any bigger than this? https://t.co/H4MmQAOH4N #Walkoffhttps://t.co/1zlWxaEkHR

The end of last night's game between the Astros and the Rays was just about as bonkers as it gets. After trailing 3-4 in the bottom of the 9th—thanks to Mikie Mahtook homering one off of Ken Giles in the top of the 9th—Carlos Correa tied the game with a solo homer, only to be followed by Evan Gattis hitting a monster solo homer of his own. Hotchy motchy, was it exciting.

Gattis' shot screamed past the train tracks of Minute Maid Park, causing the conductor to go pump his fists and go bananas. But maybe the bananas-ist celebration was Gattis' to perform:

Shortly after getting a smurf splooge shower at the end of his walk, Gattis decided to bestow upon us his verdant chest garden by ripping off his shirt. So that's where the hanging gardens of Babylon went. Hotchy motchy.
