Grand Grand Slam

Mike Lowell hits the third Red Sox home run of the day, a grand slam over the Monster to put the Red Sox up 7-0 in the bottom of the fifth. All seven runs scored today came on home runs; a solo shot, a two run and the slam. They just need a three-run dinger for the home run cycle. Boston's attack is pretty balanced. Coming into today, 31.5% of their runs scored on homers, sixteenth in the major leagues. So they don't depend on home runs as a rule.

And if Dustin Pedroia is the one to hit it, it will be an all-infield home run cycle.
