Vogelslam: Daniel Vogelbach plays hero with pinch-hit grand slam to save Mariners against Astros

Daniel Vogelbach figured he’d get out the rye bread and some mustard.

It was grand Vogelslam time.

No better for the Seattle Mariners, either. With two outs in the top of the eighth inning, Vogelbach hit a pinch-hit, go-ahead first-career grand slam.

Goodness.

The 25-year-old from Fort Myers, Florida, got ahold of a 98-mph fastball from Hector Rondon and sent it 398 feet over the wall in right-center to scores the Mariners first and only runs of a 4-1 comeback victory over the Houston Astros on Monday at Minute Maid Park in Texas.
