Fans lucky enough to be at Game 3 of the ALCS were thrilled — many had traveled hours to get there!

The Boston Red Sox made postseason history on Saturday, Oct. 16, becoming the first team in MLB history to hit two grand slams in a postseason game.

They weren't done with their historic slams.

In Game 3 on Monday, Kyle Schwarber hit a grand slam in the 3rd inning off Jose Urquidy to extend the Red Sox lead to 6-0.

With the towering home run, the Red Sox became the first MLB team ever to hit three grand slams in a single postseason series. They are one of just two teams ever to hit three grand slams in a single postseason.

Schwarber, who is no stranger to postseason home runs, has hit three so far this October. In his career, he has nine in 97 at-bats in the postseason.

With Christian Arroyo, J.D. Martinez and Rafael Devers each hitting a long ball later in the game, the Red Sox lead all teams this postseason in home runs with 20. The Astros are the next closest with nine.
