Alexander Canario became the second Chicago Cub since 2000 (Taylor Davis, May 4, 2019) to hit a grand slam for his first big-league home run.
Chicago Cubs rookie Alexander Canario hits a grand slam in the 8th inning of a game against the Pittsburgh Pirates at Wrigley Field on Sept. 19, 2023.
Somehow, the Chicago Cubs had to find a way to reverse the alarming trend over the last 10 days during their slide down the wild-card standings.[ ] “It really feels like we haven’t gotten that big double in the gap or the three-run homer,” Ross said Tuesday before the series opener with the Pittsburgh Pirates. “It feels like things aren’t going our way and someone will make it turn, one player step up and get a big knock in a big situation and guys will take a deep breath and we’ll get back on this roll that we’ve been on for a pretty good while now before that last road trip.
Dansby Swanson set the tone two batters into the bottom of the first inning Tuesday. He slugged an 0-2 elevated fastball into the center field basket for a two-run home run, one of four the Cubs hit in their 14-1 blowout win at Wrigley Field.The Cubs ended their five-game losing streak that had tied their season-high by jumping on a Pirates pitching staff they have feasted on this year.
“We’ve been scrapping for runs and pressing with guys in scoring position or runners on third less than three outs and just haven’t done what we need to do, and getting everybody a little bit of a positive boost being back home, the environment here is always good,” Ross said afterward.By submitting your email to receive this newsletter, you agree to our
