Another Red Sox : Tyler O’Neill Highlights Boston’s Win Vs. Blue Jays

Tyler O’Neill hit two home runs in his first two at-bats to help lift the Red Sox past the Toronto Blue Jays, 7-3, on Monday night at Rogers Centre.

“We know our potential out there,” O’Neill told Jamai Webster, as seen on NESN’s postgame coverage. “Anytime we got a bat in our hands, there’s a threat at the plate. One through nine we’re doing it. Threw 11 hits on the board again (Monday night). It’s always awesome to see the boys swinging.”

The Red Sox added two additional solo home runs from Rafael Devers and Ceddanne Rafaela, while Bobby Dalbec and Rob Refsnyder added the additional RBIs for Boston.

“That’s why we try too hard to keep (O’Neill) in the lineup. That’s on us to keep him healthy,” Red Sox manager Alex Cora told reporters, as seen on NESN’s postgame coverage. “He can impact the baseball and it’s a better lineup when he’s playing.”

Cora continued: “Right away he hits a homer. Raffy puts in a great at-bat and hits the ball the other way for (his home run). Rafaela is getting there. More patient, swinging at the right pitches. Overall a good one. We did some good things offensively, and hopefully, we can continue tomorrow.”
