Wilyer Abreu played a crucial role in Boston's come-from-behind victory against the Cardinals, hitting a walk-off single in the 10th inning despite not starting the game. Initially scheduled to rest due to fatigue, his performance proved vital as he assisted in scoring the winning run. Manager Alex Cora highlighted Abreu's recent fatigue but anticipated his contribution in the second game of the day. Abreu expressed gratitude for the opportunity, indicating that he felt better as the day progressed.
"Just looking for a good pitch to hit. Trying to [get a] pitch that I can do damage and can bring the run in. So that was what I'm always looking for."
"He's been dealing with some heavy legs. Obviously running around that much and the spring training thing...We pulled him out. He'll play the second game (Sunday)."
