The Phillies had a highlight-reel moment on Monday evening when Didi Gregorius hit a grand slam on the first pitch from Altlanta Braves’ Robbie Erlin. The moment gave us chills and you can watch the whole thing right now.

The pitch put the Phillies up 4-0 in the first inning. At press time the score was a whopping 10-1 in the 4th inning.
Gregorius has been vocal about wearing a mask during this pandemic, even on the field, due to his underlying health condition.
“I am definitely wearing it in games because I think it adds safety for everybody, for me and people around me,” Gregorius said before a game at Citizens Bank Park (h/t NBC Sports). “So I think wearing it will be normal for me. I’m playing in it right now so I can get accustomed to it.”
Clearly it’s not affecting his performance.
