Watch: Addison Russell Gives Cubs Lead with Grand Slam

The Cubs trailed the Minnesota Twins 5-2 on the strength of five RBI from Joe Mauer. Addison Russell came to the plate with the bases loaded in the fifth inning, and undid all of that with a grand slam. It was certainly a “hit it high and watch it fly” kind of day with the wind blowing out at Wrigley, and Russell certainly took advantage.

Two homers and EIGHT RBI for @Addison_Russell over his last two games! #EverybodyIn pic.twitter.com/sXxnccYLyo
