Patrick Wisdom - Turns tide with grand slam Wisdom hit a grand slam in his only at-bat in Saturday's 9-4 win against the Royals.
Impact Chicago trailed by one run in the seventh inning before loading the bases with one out. Wisdom was brought in to pinch hit for Pete Crow-Armstrong and promptly belted a grand slam to turn the deficit into a lead. The slugger continues to receive limited opportunities, as he's played in just seven games in July and started only two of those. However, he has been impactful of late, collecting two homers and five RBI over his past five at-bats.
