Question
I seem to remember that two Oriole pitchers hit grand slam homeruns in either the '69 or '70 season / post season.  I believe it was Dave McNally and Mike Cuellar who both hit grand slam homeruns and would like to clarify the details.  Perhaps one was a three run homerun, can you help?

Answer
Your memory is good.  Both Dave McNally and Mike Cuellar hit grand slams in the 1970 postseason, the only two pitchers ever to hit postseason grand slams.  

Cuellar hit his in Minnesota in the fourth inning of Game 1 of the ALCS, against the Twins' Jim Perry.

McNally hit his at Memorial Stadium in the sixth inning of Game 3 of the World Series, against the Reds'  Wayne Granger.

Hope this is what you were looking for.  If there's anything else we can help you with, please ask.
