Braves leadoff hitter Jace Peterson doesn't remember ever hitting a grand slam. Apparently, not even in little league, according to 680 The Fan.
Now he has one to remember forever. He sent one flying over the fence in right with the bases loaded in the second inning of his team's Saturday victory in Miami.
"Any time you can get the first one out of the way and it be a grand slam, it's awesome," Peterson said, per MLB.com.
The second baseman broke an 0-for-9 slide with the blast and added a single to improve his slash line to .276/.339/.333.
"He's a steady baseball player," manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "He just keeps getting better the more you run him out there."
