Another game, another grand slam hit by the Reds on the season. In the sixth inning yesterday against the Brewers, Jose Peraza smacked a ball into the left-field stands off Aaron Wilkerson. This slam marked the third one hit by the Reds since June 23 and the ninth on the season. According to baseball-almanac.com, the most grand slams hit by a single team in one season was 14 by the Cleveland Indians in 2006.

The Peraza grand slam tied a franchise record with the 2002 team for grand slams hit in a season by the Reds and it is only July 2. It is unexpected for the Reds to continue this impressive rate, however, they will most likely set a new franchise record and have a chance to also set a new MLB record – sitting only five away roughly halfway through the season.

Adam Duvall, Scooter Gennett, Eugenio Suarez, Joey Votto, Jesse Winker, Anthony DeSclafani, Michael Lorenzen and Peraza hit the nine grand slams. Duvall has hit two so far this season.
