Lol … what is there to say? When it rains it pours.
Despite scoring run after run with single after single, Javy Baez put an exclamation point on the night with his sixth career grand slam! It was an absolute NO-DOUBTER. And Wrigley Field immediately started chanting JAVY-JAVY-JAVY (as they do).

That was 104 MPH off the bat and 395 feet in the air, with 4 runs crossing the plate. It was Baez’s sixth career grand slam and fifth homer of the season. Baez continues to struggle making contact this year, but when he does, he absolutely blasts it.
It’s led to one of the strangest lines of the year.
