One Pitch, One Grand Slam

Saturday was a big day for young rookie Daniel Nava. He was called up to the Red Sox from Triple A and was put in the lineup as a the Left Fielder. His first Major League at bat would come up in the bottom of the 2nd with the bases loaded as the Red Sox were trailing the Phillies 2-1. The first pitch came from Joe Blanton and Nava drove it into the bullpens in RF for a Grand Slam. Nava becomes the second player in MLB history to hit a Grand Slam off the first pitch he saw in the Majors. The other one to do it was Kevin Kouzmanoff back in 2006. Nava would finish the game 2-4 with that Grand Slam and a 2B as the Red Sox win it, 10-2. Nava has probably bought himself a spot in the lineup for now with that lucky swing.
