    Ceddanne Rafaela adds dash of pepper, tastes results on tater that sends Red Sox to win over Twins

    “Stay loose and just feel your hands,” Fatse said. Rafaela struck out his first time up and then cracked a two-run home run to left-center field in the fifth inning. It gave the Sox the lead and they went on to a 9-2 victory at Target Field. Minnesota starter Joe Ryan located a fastball down and in.

  • Did Ceddanne Rafaela find his Dustin Pedroia moment?

    It was 17 years ago that Dustin Pedroia went from an under-.200-hitting second baseman to Rookie of the Year, starting with two hits on May 4 against then-star lefty Johan Santana. Two years ago, Bobby Dalbec saw the April-to-May transformation, with Triston Casas serving as the latest example of perseverance in 2023. "You've just gotta make sure you help him throughout the process," Red Sox manager Alex Cora said last year when Casas was going through his early-season woes.

    Alex Cora announcement could complicate Trevor Story's future with Red Sox

    Infield defense has presented itself as the biggest issue in the Boston Red Sox lineup in 2024. After Boston's starting pitching has been lights-out to start the season and Trevor Story's campaign ended due to injury, sloppy infield defense has been the culprit in many of its losses. Before the finale of their second series against the MLB-leading Cleveland Guardians, Red Sox skipper Alex Cora formally announced a change to his team's usual defensive alignment. Ever since Rob Refsnyder's return to the lineup, Boston has a surplus of outfielders to cycle in and out of play.
