Lexington native, Boston College Product Sal Frelick wows in MLB debut

When he grew up dreaming about his first day in the major leagues, Sal Frelick never bothered imagining a scenario quite as remarkable as the debut he produced Saturday night.

“I think this blew it out of the water,” Frelick said after going 3 for 3, driving in the go-ahead run and making two outstanding catches in the Milwaukee Brewers’ 4-3 victory over the Atlanta Braves.

The 2021 first-round pick from Boston College was the first Brewer to have at least three hits and two RBIs in his debut and was the sixth player over the last 25 years to have at least three hits and a game-winning RBI in his opening game, according to ESPN Stats & Info.
