Brand spankin' new call-up Jed Lowrie wasted no time in the quest to impress, throwing up a hit and driving in the first 3 RBI of last night's victory over the Indians -- his first game in a big boy Red Sox uniform. That means Jed now has more RBI with the Red Sox in one game than he notched in 8 games for the PawSox.

Curt Schiling has taken to calling Jed the "intern" - which is awesome, so I'm going to do the same.

The Intern was the victim of the traditional fake-ball treatment in the clubhouse after the game.

Upon entering the clubhouse, Josh Beckett greeted Lowrie with the ball he had been anticipating since [Jed's first professional game for the Lowell Spinners].

But the ball was littered with writing and orange magic marker. Sayings such as "Nice 3,000,000 chopper," and "2 RBI, but K'd in his first at-bat," along with the front and center identification that the ball belonged to "Jeb Lowry."

But then came the real McCoy, a pristine white major league ball, complete with authentication.

"I had a good idea because (Jacoby) Ellsbury got the same thing on his first hit," Lowrie said. "When I first got (the fake ball) I thought it was a joke, but they played up. Beckett sold it pretty good."

Jed also mentioned his first professional hit, and what happened with that ball:

"My first professional hit in Lowell I remember (former Spinners manager Luis) Alicea asked me if I wanted to keep the ball," said Lowrie after the Red Sox [team stats]' 5-3 win over the Indians last night at Progressive Field. "I said, 'No. I only want to keep my first major league hit.' "
