ANAHEIM, Calif. — Once he finally secured tickets for his famous father, Will Wagner had a major league debut to remember.
Toronto acquired the infielder on his 26th birthday in the July 29 trade that sent pitcher Yusei Kikuchi to the Houston Astros, where Wagner's dad spent the first nine of his 16 big league seasons. Billy Wagner made it to the ballpark following a whirlwind journey that first had him in Buffalo last weekend to watch his son play. After flying home to Virginia on Sunday, he learned of Will's promotion and boarded a plane for California.
Wagner singled with two outs in a four-run third for his first career RBI and rolled another single into right field in the fifth. All three hits to begin his career came against right-hander Davis Daniel. Wagner is primarily a second baseman, with experience at first and third. He's known as a line-drive hitter, with 25 home runs in 290 minor league games.
