In an impressive display of skill, Ceddanne Rafaela led the Boston Red Sox to a dominant 17-0 victory over the Chicago Cubs at Fenway Park. Rafaela, only 23 years old, achieved a remarkable feat by driving in 7 runs, including a two-run homer and a bases-loaded double. His performance not only highlighted his potential but also marked him as the sixth Red Sox player ever to drive in 7 runs in a game at such a young age, the first since Mookie Betts in 2016. Rafaela was just a triple shy of hitting for the cycle and matched historical figures like Fred Lynn, Ellis Burks, and Jim in this achievement.
