In this week’s edition of This Week in Cubs History, we take a look at Ron Santo’s monster double-header against the Montreal Expos. On July 6, 1970, Santo drove in 10 runs over two games to help the Cubs sweep a double-header against the Expos.
After grounding out to lead off the first game, Santo stepped up to the plate in the bottom of the 4th with two outs and a runner on first. He drove the second pitch he saw deep over the ivy for a two-run homer. The Cubs would take the first game 3-2.
The second contest was a little bit more a bloodbath for the Expos.
