Kansas City, Mo. – Instant reactions as a Red Sox (22-20) Leave Kansas City with a great victory in the series after Homers by Rafael Devers and Wilda Abreu Power a 3-1 victory at the end of the Sunday series:
1) We wrote last night about doing the conversation with his bat this weekend. He continued to do it strongly on Sunday of the sixth post. Its 440 feet, to the center of Dead, Seth Lugo, was the longest hit by a Red Sox hitter this season, and a non-double. He was the seventh Homer of around 2025.
In the three games, seven Devert published a prominent bar line. It was 7 by 12 (.583) with six RBI, two walks, a double, a Homer, a percentage of .643 at the base and 1,560 ops.
2) Alex Cora said before the game, a little unpleasantly, that Lucas Giolito would bounce from a harsh start against the Rangers and give the Red Sox six entries. He did this and much more. Five days after being drained by six runs and 10 times, Giolito looked like the main version of himself at the end.
The right, which began its third start of 2025, passed 6 entrances, allowing a single race (not experienced) and only twice from Royals. He left five and issued a walk. The only lack came to the third when Drew Waters marked a launch error by Giolito.
Giolito left his ball at the last departure, but launched -28 Sunday.
3) To the day he was not the only Burning of Red Sox with a great explosion. Wilda Abreu got his club on the board with a 430 -foot pump from Lugo in the fourth, which was at that time the second longest for a Boston batter so far. He was the second Homer of Abreu in three days at the Kauffman Stadium.
4) The Red Sox pitchers have allowed only four runs over the last four games (39 entrances). This is a successful recipe. Boston’s staff had not held opponents to four or fewer runs in a period of four games since June 2022.
5) It was a little mix of late games for Alex Cora at the end. On the left, Justin Wilson was commissioned to retire the final baptism in seventh place, and became the day set for the day, despite the switch attracted Waters and Luke Maile from the right to eighth.
Wilson got three outings in 12 throws before Kyle Isbel sang. Greg Weissert got Jonathan India to end the entrance and Aroldis Chapman entered for the ninth.
6) It was not a soft background of the ninth for Boston. Chapman got the superstar Bobby Witt Jr. For the first departure, but Vinnie Pasquantino came to a field error of David Hamilton and Salvador Pérez sang to put the tie on the base. Chapman then got a line of rockets (Maikel Garcia) and a pop-up (Mark Canha) to end things.
7) It is heard that the Red Sox have had more significant series loss than the great victories of the series so far. Count this among the best in the latter category. On Friday it was a day that included John Henry’s meeting with towards and a hard loss of 2-1 in 12 tickets. But the Red Sox bounced off this with two straight wins – and two well -thrown – against a team that entered the most hot baseball, by far. Think about this: Kansas City was 16-5 at home before the last two games.
8) The Red Sox will travel on Sunday night to Detroit, where the best team in the American League waits for a series of three games. Boston will face a hard test on Wednesday when American League winner, Cy Young, the winner Tarik Skubal for the tigers.
