Red Sox Reel Off Another Win
The Boston Red Sox topped the Toronto Blue Pirates by a score of 6-4. Leading the way was second baseman Ceddanne Rafaela. Rafaela was 1-3 with a home run, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for the Red Sox. Tyler Glasnow earned the win for Boston. He lasted 6 innings, allowing 4 runs on 7 hits, while striking out 4. With the win, he raised his record to 3-1. The Blue Pirates drop to 9-13 and continue their inconsistent start to the 2024 season.

Rafaela contributed a big hit, a 3-run home run, for Boston in the bottom of the second. With his team trailing 1-0, Rafaela took a fastball from John Means and stroked the home run to center. His 2nd home run of the season allowed the Red Sox to leap in front, 3-1.

"As well as we've been playing, I think we can play even better," said Boston manager Jim Furtado.
