Before Thursday, Luis Urías had never hit a grand slam in the majors.
As of Saturday, he’s hit two.
Urías launched one against the Nationals, then – in his very next at-bat, following an off day Friday – he did the same against the Yankees.
His blast to left Saturday – which came off Cy Young contender Gerrit Cole (10-3, 2.76 ERA) – gave the Red Sox a 4-0 edge in the second inning. It’s the second-straight day Boston has jumped ahead of New York early to build a commanding lead.
