A former Clemson standout went deep on Thursday for the first grand slam of his Major League Baseball career.

Former Clemson and current San Francisco Giants outfielder Steven Duggar launched a 3-2 pitch to straightaway centerfield for the grand salami that gave his team an 8-0 lead over the Cincinnati Reds in the third inning of the two teams’ game at Great American Ball Park on Thursday afternoon.

The 427-foot blast marks the longest homer of Duggar’s career. It was his second dinger of the 2021 season.

Steven Duggar hit the first grand slam of his career. Giants lead 8-0. Bring on the position players pitching.
