Ian Desmond Drills Grand Slam
6 years agoColorado Rockies outfielder Ian Desmond has spent two seasons trying to find a way to show that he's better than his numbers have implied. He may finally be on the right track. Desmond helped break Saturday's game open by launching a shot over the wall in right-center with the bases loaded in the fifth inning, and he finished the job with a sacrifice fly in the seventh to ensure San Diego didn't complete a comeback. Following a .196 April, Desmond has lit up May and June, hitting .319 for the month of May and .312 so far in June. He's also in the midst of a nine-game hitting streak, his longest of the season by a considerable margin.
