Michael Lorenzen homers in a third consecutive at-bat, having done so on June 24h as a pinch-hitter and again on June 29th, this time in his normal role as a relief pitcher. The third one is the most spectacular, however, as it comes against Jacob Barnes of the Brewers with the bases loaded in the 7th inning, again as a pinch-hitter. His grand slam is key to the Reds’ 12 – 3 win.
