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.

The Red Sox lost in brutal fashion last night. That doesn't take away from the fact that the newest member of the team delivered a signature moment in his first start for Boston.

After squandering a ninth-inning lead and a chance to sweep the Marlins on Sunday, it would have seemed hard to believe an even more painful defeat awaited the Red Sox on this brief five-game homestand.

New Red Sox first baseman Nathaniel Lowe's thoughts on the first four months of his season are simple. He'd like to "have amnesia" about his time with the Nationals.

Boston’s new first baseman isn’t in Monday’s Red Sox lineup, which has a newly returned player in the leadoff spot.

Lowe was a Gold Glover and a Silver Slugger for his previous team before the Nats, the Texas Rangers. With the Nats, he’s regressed a bit, slashing .216/.292/.373/.665 with 16 home runs and 17 doubles. While it seems like his hitting is down, it looked like he was beginning to figure it out, hitting a grand slam in his last game with Washington.
