ONE BIG TAKEAWAY
The Orioles tagged Red Sox starting pitcher Brayan Bello with the first run of the night in the top of the first inning, but Boston evened the score in the bottom half of the inning and then never trailed again in the contest.
Veteran right-handed hitter Rob Refsnyder led the way for the Red Sox with a career-high four RBIs in the contest. The 33-year-old launched a two-run dinger, his 10th of the season, in the bottom of the third inning, plating Rafael Devers to give Boston a 3-1 lead. The right fielder gave the Red Sox insurance when he singled to center in the bottom of the sixth inning to score Danny Jansen and Ceddanne Rafaela. Refsnyder would add a solo shot in the bottom of the eighth inning for his seventh-career multi-home run game and the second time this season.
Rafaela matched Refsnyder’s run output with four RBIs of his own. The 23-year-old started in center field and singled in the sixth inning, plating two runs and adding two more in the bottom of the seventh inning with his 21st double of the season. He finished 2-for-4 from the plate in Boston’s win.
STARS OF THE GAME
— Refsnyder went 4-for-4 from the dish with a home run and a double to lead the Red Sox offense with four RBIs.
— O’Neill’s 28th and 29th long balls of the season gave Boston its eighth and ninth back-to-back home runs this season. He finished 3-for-5 from the plate with three RBIs.
— Rafaela knocked in two runs in the bottom of the sixth inning with his first hit of the night, which plated Romy González and Connor Wong.
