Red Sox slugger Kyle Schwarber hit Boston’s third grand slam of the American League Championship Series on Monday night with a second-inning bomb to right field at Fenway Park.
Schwarber’s 430-foot blast gave Boston a 6-0 lead against the Houston Astros before the hosts recorded five outs against them. The home run swing came on a 3-0 pitch — a 93 mph fastball.
The Red Sox are the first team in postseason history to hit three grand slams in a single postseason series.

Boston batted around in the second inning, scoring six runs on five hits with two walks. Astros pitcher Jose Urquidy was pulled after 1 2/3 innings with all of it credited to him.
As fans certainly will remember, Boston hit a pair of grand slams during Saturday’s Game 2 win. J.D. Martinez and Rafael Devers hit the grand slams during that victory.
