With the bases loaded and no outs and the Reds trailing 3-0 in the seventh inning, Christian Encarnacion-Strand hit a towering 439 foot grand slam to give the Reds a 4-3 lead.

It was Encarnacion-Strands sixth home run of the season and his first home run since June 8 against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

The ball was hit 109.1 mph and it went out of the stadium.

Encarnacion-Strand was not in the original starting lineup, but was inserted when Spencer Steer was scratched after he was hit in the hand by a pitch in game one on Wednesday.
