Despite challenges, the Red Sox managed a crucial victory, sweeping the Nationals as they head into a winnable seven-game homestand. Key performances came from Ceddanne Rafaela with three hits and a home run, Trevor Story extending his hitting streak, and Garrett Crochet striking out 150 batters this season. Confidence is crucial as the team approaches the All-Star break and the summer months.
Ceddanne Rafaela continues to shine, going 3-for-4 with 2 runs, 1 RBI, and a home run, showing consistency and bright potential for the Red Sox.
Trevor Story maintains his impressive performance with an eight-game hitting streak, averaging .469, including 4 doubles, 3 home runs, and 12 RBIs in that span.
Garrett Crochet registers 150 strikeouts for the season with a messy 5-inning outing, showcasing his ability to navigate through tough situations; notable company with past Red Sox legends.
