That came a day after he walked off a victory by sliding safely into first base as the winning run crossed the plate in the ninth inning on Saturday.
The Cubs trailed 8-7 in the seesaw affair when Schwindel hit his fourth home run of the month with two outs in the seventh. But that was equaled by Cubs second baseman Matt Duffy just a few moments later, when he went deep in the bottom of the third to give the Cubs the lead again. Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds hit the first slam of the game, in the top of the third inning, turning a 2-1 deficit into a 5-2 lead. "You hit two grand slams in a day, you have a good chance at winning a baseball game." "It's been ridiculous," bench coach and fill-in manager Andy Green said after the game. It's the first time in MLB history a game featured three go-ahead grand slams. Schwindel's blast was the third go-ahead slam of the game, including two from Cubs hitters.
