After a dugout hug from cousin Nolan Arenado, Josh Fuentes ripped a pinch-hit single in his first MLB at-bat

There was a special moment in the Rockies' dugout before Saturday night's 7-2 loss to the Dodgers at Coors Field. Prospect Josh Fuentes, Colorado's No. 11-ranked prospect according to MLB Pipeline, arrived at the ballpark after being called up to replace the injured Ryan McMahon.

What makes this a special circumstance is that Fuentes, 26, happens to be the cousin of Nolan Arenado, the Rockies' star third baseman and six-time Gold Glove Award winner. When Fuentes arrived, he and his cousin shared an embrace in the dugout.

In the eighth inning, Fuentes was called upon to make his first plate appearance in the Majors. And he made it count, stepping up to the plate against Los Angeles' Yimi Garcia and ripping a 1-2 offering into left field for a clean single.

You have to love these types of moments, when the bond between family and the game come together so strongly. And special shout-out to the Rockies fans in attendance, who clearly knew what was happening and cheered Fuentes on accordingly.

Definitely a moment Fuentes will never forget.
