Watch: Frank Schwindel Hits Cubs’ Second Grand Slam of Game
With the Cubs trailing by a run in the bottom of the 7th inning, the bases were loaded when up walked red-hot Frank Schwindel. The reigning NL Player of the Month reached out for a low curveball and deposited it into the centerfield basket.
In the bottom of the 3rd inning, Matt Duffy hit a grand slam to give the Cubs a 7-5 lead. That was in response to a grand slam the Pirates hit in the top of the 3rd.
Yes, it has, indeed, been a grand day so far at Wrigley.
We've got another go-ahead grand slam to report.#SCHWINNNNNNG pic.twitter.com/sNmeeeGscx
