Rafael Devers' Clutch Hit Boosts Red Sox in MLB
Rafael Devers' walk-off double at Fenway Park highlights a season-long trend for the Red Sox, leading in high-pressure situations.
Boston’s Rafael Devers had a walk-off double at Fenway Park July 31 to seal a win for the Red Sox against the Seattle Mariners. The critical moment for the Red Sox is part of a season-long trend as they lead the American League in the high-pressure situation, per masslive.com. As of Wednesday, the team had 588 plate appearances of two outs and runners in scoring position, the most in the American League and second in the Majors, only behind Milwakee Brewers.
This duel performance is not only a proof of the team’s great tactical approach but also makes the Red Sox a bigger fish to fry for other clubs in MLB. As the results of the season ticker, it becomes clear that the Red Sox usually do the most they can do to do their part of the job. This year’s Boston’s case serves as a great exhibit of what it may look like with a team of great players that can use such big opportunities.
