So first, the good news. The Red Sox bats took full advantage of a struggling Texas staff, racking up 16 hits and 11 runs to take the series opener.
The biggest knocks of the night came from Wilyer Abreu, Ceddanne Rafaela, and Rafael Devers, who all homed during different innings of the game. Here are those fireworks:
Wilyer to take the early lead:
Rafaela providing some insurance (Would you believe he is now tied for third on the team in home runs behind only Tyler O’Neill and Rafael Devers?):
Devers providing more insurance and lifting his OPS over 1.
