Marlins' Justin Bour: First-inning slam not enough in Friday loss to Cubs

Bour smacked a first-inning grand slam in Friday's loss to the Cubs, his only hit in three at-bats.

Analysis:

The big lefty knocked his 13th homer of the season after starter Kyle Hendricks walked a pair of batters to load the bases in the bottom of the first inning. The home run tied the score for the Marlins, who had just allowed four runs in the top of the first frame. Bour continues to provide a steady power bat against right-handed pitching and has piled up 40 RBI to go along with a .268/.339/.515 slash line over 194 at-bats this season
