Backstop Buster Posey and southpaw Madison Bumgarner become the first batterymates in major league history to hit grand slams in the same game, accounting for all the runs in the Giants' 8-4 victory over the Diamondbacks at AT&T Park. The left-hander's grand salami marks only the second time a hurler has hit two in a season, a feat also accomplished by Tony Cloninger, who hit his four-baggers during the same game in 1966.
