2010: Derek Jeter homers twice and Jorge Posada hits a grand slam in the Yankees' 9-3 win over the Astros. Houston's Wandy Rodriguez (3-9) is the victim of the offensive surge, accomplished in the absence of Alex Rodriguez, still bothered by a groin injury.

2012: Alex Rodriguez ties Lou Gehrig's record by hitting his 23rd career grand slam, off the Braves' Jonny Venters. A-Rod's 8th-inning blast allows the Yankees to tie the score, and Nick Swisher hits a two-run shot later that inning for a 6-4 win.
