Saltalamacchia Makes Debut
Jarrod Saltalamacchia celebrated his 22nd birthday by being called up from AA Mississippi and made his MLB debut Wednesday night. The much ballyhooed catcher went 0-2 with a walk."Right now, I'm just overwhelmed with it," said Saltalamacchia,"I'm just trying to take all of that in and see what happens. Anything that happens, I'm happy with." The need for Saltalamacchia was realized on Tuesday night when both Brian Pena and Brian McCann went down with injuries. Both catchers were injured while behind the plate getting hit by back-swings. Pena went on the disabled list with a head injury and McCann is nursing a sore left hand.
