VIDEO: Christian Vazquez Goes Yard for 2nd Homer of the Game in Philadelphia
By Sean Facey
Have yourself a day, Christian Vazquez! The Boston Red Sox backstop notched his 20th home run of the year on a grand slam in the third inning, and then he grabbed his 21st with a solo shot off of Philadelphia Phillies reliever Mike Morin to push the defending champs' lead to 6-2.

It's the latest chapter in what can aptly be described as a breakout season for Vazquez. He entered the year with 20 career home runs in four seasons, and now he's hit 21 in just 127 games.
In a season that has been wildly disappointing, Christian Vazquez has been one of the few bright spots for the Red Sox.
