The Boston Red Sox recently acquired Nathaniel Lowe off of waivers and he has been a smash hit for them, bringing power hitting to first base. However, this meant they needed to designate Abraham Toro for assignment, the man holding it down previously.

Cora made good on that final promise on Monday night, as Lowe came in to pinch-hit in the ninth inning against Baltimore Orioles closer Yennier Cano. He drew a seven-pitch walk and scored on a Jarren Duran double, but Boston still lost 6-3.
