After the wind-blown home run by Joe Mauer earlier in the game, no one should apologize for this wind-aided grand slam by Addison Russell, who is absolutely on fire the last couple days.
Russell gave the Chicago Cubs a 6-5 lead in the fifth over the Minnesota twins, lifting a ball to left and getting some help by the wind that's blowing straight out at Wrigley Field.
Russell now has two home runs and eight RBIs in his last two games. He's been great at the plate for a little more than six weeks.
This was the third grand slam by the Cubs in June. The last time the Cubs had three grand slams in a month was in 1998.
Yes, that's pitcher Kevin Tapani with a grand slam and of course the summer of Sosa was awesome.
