Wilyer Abreu - Tallies four hits in twin bill Abreu went 4-for-6 with a run, two RBI, a stolen base and a walk across both games of a doubleheader split with the Yankees on Thursday.
Impact Abreu collected three hits in the matinee, including a first-inning single that plated the first run of the game. He added a single and a walk in the nightcap before being lifted for a pinch hitter in the eighth frame. Abreu went through a 1-for-17 stretch between Aug. 25 and Sept. 8, but since then he's swung a hot bat, going 11-for-20 with three runs, five RBI and two steals over his past six games.

In the second contest, he slammed a solo homer to right field in the third inning for his 31st long ball of the campaign. Devers has reached base safely in six consecutive contests, going 10-for-20 with two homers, four RBI, seven runs and four walks over that span.

Ceddanne Rafaela - Collects four hits across twin bill Rafaela went 4-for-9 with a solo home run, a double and three total runs across both games of Thursday's doubleheader split with the Yankees.
Impact Rafaela collected a pair of hits in each contest, including two extra-base knocks -- a solo homer and a double -- in the matinee. The rookie center fielder batted in the leadoff spot in both games and has now made five consecutive starts for Boston. Rafaela has fared well so far in his short time as a major-leaguer, slashing .368/.400/.632 with two homers, four doubles, three RBI, nine runs and a stolen base over 40 plate appearances. However, he's punched out 15 times, so the sterling batting average may not be sustainable.

Tanner Houck - Tosses six scoreless frames in win Houck (5-9) earned the win over the Yankees in the first game of Thursday's doubleheader. He allowed four hits and issued three walks while striking out seven batters over six scor...
Impact Houck excelled in the outing, racking up 19 whiffs and seven punchouts. He finished without yielding a run for the first time if 18 starts this season, bouncing back nicely from a five-run, 5.1-inning performance against Baltimore his previous time out. Houck also notched his first quality start since June 10, which was one appearance prior to a start June 16 during which he suffered a facial fracture that kept him out of action for over two months. The right-hander has compiled a 4.94 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 87:34 K:BB over 93 innings overall this season.
