A Grand Day Out for the Mets at Wrigley

Cracking good home runs, Gromit!

In the sixth inning today at Wrigley Field, Cliff Floyd and Carlos Beltran both hit grand slams.

This was the seventh instance of that in major league history:

  1. Tom Burns and Malachi Kittridge for Chicago against Pittsburgh on August 16, 1890. 5th inning.
  2. Bob Allison and Harmon Killebrew for Minnesota against Cleveland on July 18, 1962. 1st inning.
  3. Denis Menke and Jim Wynn for Houston against New York on July 30, 1969. 9th inning.
  4. Cecil Cooper and Don Money for Milwaukee against Boston on April 12, 1980. 2nd inning.
  5. Larry Sheets and Jim Dwyer for Baltimore against Texas on August 6, 1986. 4th inning.
  6. Fernando Tatis twice for St. louis against Los Angeles on April 23, 1999. 3rd inning.

In 1986 the Orioles lost the game despite scoring 11 runs.
