In a remarkable display of skill, Ceddanne Rafaela led the Boston Red Sox to a historic 17-0 victory over the Chicago Cubs. Rafaela, aged 23 years and 222 days, achieved a career milestone by driving in seven runs, including a two-run homer and a bases-loaded double. Tyler O'Neill also contributed with a home run in this decisive win. This performance ties Rafaela with legends like Fred Lynn and Ellis Burks as one of the youngest players to drive in over seven runs in a game for the Red Sox. The game, which took place at Fenway Park, marked the most lopsided shutout by the Red Sox since their 18-0 victory over the Philadelphia Athletics in 1954.

Rafaela is the 6th Red Sox player ever to drive in 7 runs in a game at the age of 23 or younger, and the first since Mookie in 2016.
Ceddanne Rafaela is crushing the ball today. He just smashed a two-run homer to left-center (into the Monster Seats, basically above the 379-foot marker). It's 11-0, Red Sox.
Rafaela greets erstwhile Red Sox Colten Brewer with a first-pitch, bases-loaded double to left to score three runs. It's 8-0, Red Sox, in the 5th.
