Cubs' Addison Russell: Busts Wednesday's game open with grand slam

Russell went 1-for-4 in Wednesday's win over the White Sox, putting the cherry on top with an eighth-inning grand slam.

Analysis:

The second-year shortstop's first homer since way back on July 5 put the game out of reach, turning a 4-1 lead into an 8-1 blowout. Russell's numbers have ticked up just a little this year, but he's showing positive signs -- his walk rate is well up while his strikeout rate is noticeably down.
