Red Sox ride momentum of rout into rematch vs. Cubs

Ceddanne Rafaela led the way going 4-for-4 with seven RBIs and finished a triple shy of the cycle in a 17-0 Saturday win, but Boston's stars were numerous. Masataka Yoshida matched Rafaela with four hits as the Red Sox piled up 21 as a team. Tyler O'Neill began the scoring with his ninth home run of the season on his 3-for-5 day, while Bobby Dalbec drove in three. Coupled with a five-pitcher shutout that included hitless two-inning stints from Justin Slaten and Cam Booser, there was plenty to excite Boston manager Alex Cora.
