Cheng’s Big Moment with Red Sox

Tsung-Che Cheng, a former Pirates prospect picked up off waivers, finally got his first MLB hit — a double — in his Red Sox debut, driving in his first run too. After a tough first taste of the majors last year and a brief stint in the World Baseball Classic, Cheng’s been ready for this moment, even telling teammates he was prepared while playing in Triple A. He’s planning to give the ball from his first hit to his parents — a sweet personal touch. With Marcelo Mayer sidelined, the Red Sox need Cheng to step up offensively if they’re to make a postseason push. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
