Give up a grand slam and not record an out
Nick Sandlin gave up a grand slam to the Blue Jays’ Dalton Varsho yesterday and was removed from the game before recording an out.
He’s the 12th pitcher in franchise history to give up a grand slam without recording an out. The others:
- 2022 Bryan Shaw vs MIN
- 2019 Brad Hand vs KC
- 2010 Tony Sipp vs NYY
- 2009 Rafael Perez vs MIL
- 2003 Danys Baez vs SEA
- 1997 Paul Shuey vs ANA
- 1994 Derek Lilliquist vs DET
- 1986 Jose Roman vs BOS
- 1983 Len Barker vs CAL
- 1962 Barry Latman vs MIN
- 1961 Frank Funk vs LAA
Latman and Barker were the only ones to do so as a starting pitcher. Latman and Shaw were the only ones to give up multiple home runs in the game.
Lilliquist (vs Detroit’s Lou Whitaker) and Shuey (vs Anaheim’s Tim Salmon) gave up walk-off grand slams.
