Despite debacle, first career grand slam shows Marlins this rookie’s power potential | Miami Herald

The potential is there for Lewis Brinson.

The Marlins hope Lewis Brinson will find his rhythm at the plate sooner than later.

Brinson, Miami's promising rookie center fielder, gave another glimpse of his power stroke Sunday afternoon when he crushed a fastball from Julio Teheran for his first career grand slam during a six-run inning that still proved not to be enough in a disappointing 10-9 loss to the host Braves at SunTrust Park.

Still, Brinson's sixth home run in what's so far been a difficult season at the plate was a welcome sign for the Marlins.
