This marked the first time in Posey's career that he homered and stole a base in the same game. The stolen base was rare, though it looked ordinary. And there was nothing ordinary at all about the home run.
Posey, who led National League catchers in the most recent All-Star voting update, hammered a 2-2 curveball from Los Angeles starter Mike Bolsinger into the Dodgers' bullpen for his third career regular-season grand slam. It also was his 10th homer of the year, making the Giants the last team in the Majors to boast a player with a double-digit home run total.
