Samuel Basallo News: Drives in pair of runs

Basallo went 2-for-5 with a two-run double and a run scored in Monday's 6-3 victory over Boston.

Basallo has made his presence felt right away at the big-league level, driving in two runs in each of his first two games and notching his first extra-base hit Monday. The top prospect drew the start behind the plate in the contest, and while Adley Rutschman's presence means he won't hold that role on a full-time basis, Basallo should still find regular at-bats at first base or designated hitter when he isn't catching.
