Mike Yastrzemski hit his first grand slam as a member of the Atlanta Braves on Thursday night at PNC Park, capping a six-run third inning that propelled the Braves to a 10-5 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Yastrzemski, acquired from the San Francisco Giants in the offseason, drove a 2-0 sinker from Pirates starter Mitch Keller over the left-center field wall for his 14th home run of the season. The slam came one pitch after a controversial check-swing call that went against Pittsburgh third baseman Ke’Bryan Hayes.
