CHICAGO -- A go-ahead, seventh-inning grand slam by red-hot Cubs first baseman Frank Schwindel topped off a wild Sunday afternoon at Wrigley Field, leading to an 11-8 Chicago victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates and a four-game sweep.
Schwindel's blast was the third go-ahead slam of the game, including two from Cubs hitters. It's the first time in MLB history a game featured three go-ahead grand slams.
"It's been ridiculous," bench coach and fill-in manager Andy Green said after the game. "You hit two grand slams in a day, you have a good chance at winning a baseball game.
