Former Maryland second baseman Brandon Lowe was called up by the Tampa Bay Rays last weekend, and his first career highlight came in the field Thursday night.
With one out in the top of the ninth and the Rays leading the Baltimore Orioles by a run, Trey Mancini laced a slider from Sergio Romo up the middle for what looked like a certain base hit. But Lowe (pronounced like “wow”) had other ideas.
Romo would retire the following batter for the game’s final out, giving the Rays a 5-4 victory.
