On Monday night, Rob Refsnyder and Tyler O’Neill of the Boston Red Sox made history by hitting back-to-back home runs twice in one game against the Orioles. The last time this feat was achieved by Red Sox players was in April 1994. Refsnyder went 4-for-4 with two home runs and five RBIs, while O’Neill added two homers of his own. O’Neill’s 29 home runs tie him for the fourth-most hit by a player in their first 100 games with the Red Sox.
The Red Sox won the game 12-3, with their offense putting on a stellar performance, scoring the most runs since August 16. While the odds are against them in making a postseason push, they sit just three games behind the Twins for the final wild-card spot in the American League. Refsnyder, a dependable bench contributor known for his prowess against left-handed pitching, has shown impressive power this season with 10 home runs in just 90 games.
O’Neill, on the other hand, has built a reputation for hitting multiple home runs in a game this season, with seven such games to his name. The duo’s performance on Monday night added another exciting chapter to the Red Sox’ season, showcasing their offensive prowess in a much-needed win. Boston fans will surely be looking forward to more standout moments from Refsnyder and O’Neill as the season progresses.
