Renfroe's pinch-hit grand slam powers Padres

SAN DIEGO -- Hunter Renfroe only got one at-bat on Sunday afternoon. Boy, did he make it count.

Pinch-hitting with the bases loaded in the fifth inning, Renfroe demolished a 1-2 slider from Reds starter Luis Castillo. He sent it off the second level of the Western Metal Supply Co. Building in left field, turning a two-run Padres deficit into a two-run lead. San Diego tacked on another in the sixth, en route to a 6-3 victory at Petco Park.

Renfroe's towering blast marked the first go-ahead pinch-hit grand slam in the Majors this season -- and the first since September 2015, when Milwaukee's Jason Rogers took the Cardinals' Trevor Rosenthal deep.
