Rafaela Swings Red Sox to 8-6 Win
Red Sox right fielder Ceddanne Rafaela left his mark on his team's 8-6 win over the Atlanta Braves. Rafaela, who is tied for 3rd in the AL in triples with 6, was 4 for 5 with a home run and 2 doubles, while scoring 2 and driving in 3 for Boston in the contest. Boston reliever Mason Burns picked up the win, upping his record to 1-0. Dylan Lee took the loss. Boston has an impressive 101-40 record.

Rafael Devers came through with a big-time hit for Boston. The third baseman smacked a 2-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to give his team the lead, 8-6. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"This game is going to humble you at times and you've got to man up and deal with it," said Atlanta manager Chris Honsa.
