Brandon Nimmo Hits Second Grand Slam in Four Days for Mets

New York Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo hit his second grand slam in four days, punctuating a productive week that has helped jump-start the club’s offense. Nimmo’s first bases-loaded blast came on 2 July against the Milwaukee Brewers, when he drove a pitch from highly touted rookie Jacob Misiorowski over the wall in the second inning for a 4–0 advantage. The shot was just the fifth hit allowed in Misiorowski’s young career. Shortstop Francisco Lindor followed with a solo homer, extending the margin to 5–0. The 32-year-old struck again on 5 July in the opening frame of the Subway Series, sending a Carlos Rodon offering into the seats to stake the Mets to another 4–0 cushion over the New York Yankees. The rare feat of two grand slams in such a short span underscores Nimmo’s recent power surge as the Mets look for momentum heading into the season’s second half.
