In doing so, it posted a hype video and an emotional video with his father sharing the news: Basallo is the Orioles' No. 1 prospect and the No. 8 overall prospect in the league, per MLB.com's prospect rankings.

Basallo will play everyday but will be the No. 2 catcher behind Adley Rutschman while also seeing time at first base and DH.

Boston loaded the bases with one out in the 10th before a double play ended the threat. The Red Sox had another opportunity with a runner on third with one out in the 11th but couldn’t get him home.
