Ryan Howard smacks a grand slam as Phillies fall to Atlanta

Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard blasted the 15th grand slam of his career on Tuesday as the Phillies fell to the Atlanta Braves.

What It Means:

That brings Howard up to 24 home runs on the year, which is his best mark since 2011.

It hasn't been a great year from the dish overall for Howard, who is slashing .196/.259/.453 with a .298 wOBA, but he has still shown some serious power, and his .256 ISO is his best since 2009.
