A huge first lights the way for the boys.
The Red Sox pasted the Reds on Monday, 13-6, in a game that wasn’t even as close as the final score indicates. Let’s get to it!
Three Studs
Wilyer Abreu
Our dude didn’t just hit two homers; he did so in style. The first dongle was in the fifth inning, and didn’t so much leave the yard is it did NOT leave the yard, i.e., it was an inside-the-park job. The second, in the eighth, was more traditional, having jumped a fence.
Trevor Story
His first inning homer led the way toward a quick 7-0 start and pretty much ended the game just after it began.
Carlos Narvaez, I guess?
So many Sox had good evenings that it’s weird to just choose one person, but we’ll go with Narvaez because his first inning double was key to the Sox pulling away early.

N/A
Given that the Sox were up 7-0 before the game really even began, and every starter had a hit, and Garrett Crochet was pitching with a huge lead the whole time, there’s not really a dud to be found tonight.
