Cubs steal eight bases, rack up 21 hits in win vs. Pirates

PITTSBURGH -- The Chicago Cubs stole eight bases -- their most in a game in more than 100 years -- and had 21 hits on the way to an 18-8 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday night.

Dansby Swanson broke the game open with a grand slam off Domingo German in the sixth inning to push the Cubs' lead to 9-2.

It was the third grand slam of the shortstop's nine-year career -- and second this season. He also homered with the bases loaded on April 24 against Houston rookie Spencer Arrighetti.
