Baseball.. Where stuff happens for first time ever, all the time
http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index...40713_27771156
Bumgarner hit a grand slam in the sixth inning -- one inning after Buster Posey did the same -- as the Giants ended the first half of the season with an 8-4 blasting of the D-backs at AT&T Park. The twin slams made Bumgarner and Posey the first pitcher-catcher duo in Major League history to each hit a grand slam in the same game. Bumgarner's bases-clearing shot was his second slam of the season. The last pitcher to accomplish that? The Braves' Tony Cloninger, who hit two in the same game against the Giants at Candlestick Park in 1966. Sunday marked just the third time that the Giants hit two grand slams in one game in the San Francisco era.
