Sports Digest (Aug. 5): Former Terp Brandon Lowe makes major league debut with Rays

Former Maryland baseball player Brandon Lowe made his major league debut Sunday afternoon, starting in left field for the Tampa Bay Rays in an 8-7 loss to the Chicago White Sox . Lowe went 0-for-4 at the plate but reached base on a walk in the ninth inning. Normally a second baseman, Lowe was called up to the majors after hitting .297 with 22 home runs and 31 doubles between Triple-A Durham and Double-A Montgomery. "It's indescribable. It's been a dream since I was a little kid," Lowe told reporters after the game.
