Red Sox outfielder Mookie Betts joins elite company in runs scored category

Mookie Betts crossed the plate twice in Sunday’s loss in Cleveland, setting a new career-high in runs scored. His current 123 total tops his previous best set in 2016 by one. It also cements his status as one of the top run scorers in Boston Red Sox history.

Betts is now the sixth player to score 120+ runs in multiple seasons with the Red Sox.

The list of runs scored leaders is littered with the name of Ted Williams, who topped 130 runs in each of his firs four seasons before taking a three-year hiatus to serve in the military.
