The Boston Red Sox's catchers have made a scene at the plate this season. Manager Alex Cora has shown a habit of using hot bats when constructing lineups. First, Reese McGuire was on fire. The catcher earned appearances in the majority of Boston's first four series of the season and he's up to two homers and 10 RBI on the season — McGuire only hit one homer and 12 RBI in all of 2023. More recently, Connor Wong has been the one streaking.
Connor Wong clubbed a pair of solo homers and joined Wilyer Abreu with four hits while Cooper Criswell pitched five strong innings as the visiting Boston Red Sox cooled off the Cleveland Guardians with an 8-0 victory on Wednesday night. Rafael Devers, back from a five-game absence due to a knee injury, also went deep, was a triple shy of the cycle and had two RBIs for the Red Sox, who evened the three-game set by improving to 4-1 on a six-game trip. Wong entered Wednesday with three home runs this season, then delivered solo shots in the second and sixth innings off Cleveland starter Carlos Carrasco (1-2) for his second career two-homer game.
The Guardians have the best record in baseball at 17-6, and are looking to continue their hot streak against the Red Sox Wednesday night.
