Sunday's Red Sox offensive breakout a reminder that luck sometimes evens out

“This team needed a day like this,” said first baseman Dominic Smith, shouting to have his voice heard over the music in the clubhouse. Tyler O'Neill and Rafael Devers drew walks off righthander Ryan Fernandez, a Rule 5 pick from the Sox in December. Connor Wong (hitting .354 with a .916 OPS) then reached on a slowly hit infield single to third baseman Nolan Arenado, a 10-time Gold Glove winner. Wilyer Abreu pinch hit and tapped a grounder with an exit velocity of 38.4 m.p.h.
