Yoan Moncada made his professional debut for the Boston Red Sox on Monday, playing for the Greenville Drive of the Class A South Atlantic League.

Moncada grounded out twice, reached on an error, walked and scored twice. The 19-year-old Cuban, who batted sixth and played second base, also committed an error, whiffing on a ground ball.

"I enjoy it. I love it. I think it's part of the job. I've always enjoyed it," Moncada said. "I love playing in front of a lot of people, a lot of fans. That was one of the things about Fort Myers that was driving me crazy.

"I became a little desperate [to start playing with a full-season affiliate], but I understand it's part of the process, and the important thing is I feel I got better. Now I'm here, and I feel I'm ready for this next challenge."
