Watch: Willson Contreras Hammers 422-Foot Grand Slam in 1st Inning
The Cubs have kicked off this homestand in style, scoring eight runs so far in the 1st inning capped off by a grand slam.
Willson Contreras led off the inning with a double and end up scoring the Cubs’ first run. After the Cubs batted around the order, Contreras absolutely crushed this ball in his second at-bat, a hanging breaking ball for the grand slam. It was also Contreras’ 100th home run as a Cub. Pretty cool.
On the year, Contreras is slashing .291/.407/.524 with five home runs.
