Two Red Sox Rookies Pick up First Hit in Same Game
Welcome to the show.
Alex Hassan and Garin Cecchni came into Sunday's game at Fenway Park with a total of zero combined Major League hits. To be fair, Sunday was also each player's Major League debut. Both Hassan and Cecchini picked up their first career hit against the Tampa Bay Rays at Fenway Park on the same day.
Cecchini and Hassan are 1st pair of #RedSox to make ML debut and get a hit on same day since 9/28/75 (Steve Dillard, Andy Merchant) #SoxFarm
