Vaughn Grissom knows how to make a first impression.
Grissom — Atlanta’s top prospect — made his MLB debut Wednesday and promptly launched a two-run home run in the seventh inning for his first major league hit in the Braves’ 8-4 win over the Red Sox at Fenway Park.
Grissom, 21, later added a line drive single in the ninth inning for his second career base knock, rounding out a stellar 2-for-4 debut.
Grissom was summoned from Double-A Mississippi after starting second baseman Orlando Arcia strained his left hamstring Tuesday night and was placed on the 10-day injured list.
