Matt Wieters’ go-ahead grand slam against the Chicago Cubs on Sunday afternoon was the third of his career, and his first grand slam since 2013 was also his first home run in 22 games and 88 plate appearances, going back to June 28th, when the Nationals met the Cubs in Washington, D.C.
Wieters was 0 for 3 on the day in Wrigley Field going into his eighth inning at bat against Cubs’ reliever Carl Edwards, Jr.
