Sunday was a big day for MLB debuts. The Red Sox initiated
Mookie Betts, and
East Longmeadow, Mass. native Nick Ahmed did the same for the Arizona Diamondbacks. Ahmed—out of UConn—started at shortstop for Arizona and got his first major league hit in a 2-1 loss to the Padres. Ahmed was acquired from the Braves in the
Justin Upton deal. When starting Arizona shortstop
Chris Owings went on the DL, Ahmed was called up to fill the void. Best of luck to Nick!
