WATCH: Nelson Velazquez crushes go-ahead grand slam against Mariners

---

Chicago Cubs right fielder Nelson Velazquez crushed the first grand slam of his major league career in the third inning during Tuesday's game against the Seattle Mariners.

The Cubs faithful at Wrigley Field were on their feet and loud during a 3-1 pitch, and Velazquez absolutely nailed a no-doubter home run to the left-field bleachers.

The homer put the Cubs up 8-7 in a wild and crazy game so far in which all nine Cubs hitters reached base during the third inning.
