It didn't take long for Franchy Cordero to make his presence felt in his first day back with the Boston Red Sox.
Coming off the bench to pinch-hit for Bobby Dalbec, Cordero crushed a Dylan Tate sinker 358-feet over the left field wall to tie Boston's "Little League Classic" game against the Baltimore Orioles.
It was Cordero's first at-bat with the Red Sox since the Major League Baseball trade deadline, when Boston acquired Eric Hosmer and subsequently sent Cordero to Triple-A Worcester. In his first extended stay with Worcester since early in the year, Cordero mashed -- going 6-for-9 from the plate in his final two games with Worcester with three home runs and nine RBIs.
