Matt Szczur, 26, had the biggest hit of his major league career when he pounced on a Chris Withrow fastball with the bags full in the bottom of the 8th inning for a nicely hit home run to left field.
The ball was clouted with authority and cleared the wall for a Grand Slam which punctuated the Cubs 6-1 win vs. Atlanta last Friday. It was Szczur’s first career Grand Slam.
Szczur who has been back and forth from Triple-A in Iowa to the Bigs, knows his role with the team.
