From @ESPNStatsInfo: The Red Sox join the 1998 Braves as the only team with three grand slams in a single postseason.

They're the first to do it in a single series.

Schwarber may have had a 3-0 count, but he was given the green light. He predicted that Jose Urquidy would throw a fastball and proceeded to hit a bomb out of right field. Clearly, the 28-year-old made the right call going for it.

Grand slams are not very common in general, but to have a team hit so many in just one series is simply remarkable. If the Red Sox keep doing this well offensively, they should continue to win ballgames this postseason.

At the end of the day, Schwarber has been a perfect deadline pickup for the Red Sox and is demonstrating his true value postseason.
