Scooter Gennett's grand slam total reaches six in Reds' win against Pirates

It's pretty remarkable: Of Cincinnati Reds second baseman Scooter Gennett's 70 career big-league home runs, six are grand slams.

Gennett hit four grand slams in 2017, including one in his four-homer game against the St. Louis Cardinals last June. So now five of his six career grand slams have come in the 686 plate appearances he's made since the Reds selected him off waivers in March of last year.

Gennett has more career grand slams than the following Hall of Famers (per baseball-almanac.com - and these are just a few of them):

Frank Thomas: 521 HR, 4 GS
