WATCH: Yasmani Grandal takes aim at his own face on monster home run
Dodgers catcher Yasmani Grandal entered Thursday having already set a new career-best in home runs, with 19.
Grandal made his 20th — a long one off Phillies right-hander Jerad Eickhoff — memorable for other reasons. Namely, he hit himself in the face with the ball.

Okay, so Grandal didn’t hit himself with the ball so much as he hit the picture of himself on the scoreboard. But still, that’s a heck of a well-(ill?)-placed home run.
Grandal’s home run continues a hot second half, and he’s been a big reasons for the Dodgers’ success. He entered Thursday night having hit 288/.412/.600 with seven homers since the break.
