In a thrilling moment during the game against the Tigers, Red Sox outfielders Ceddanne Rafaela and Wilyer Abreu showcased their exceptional teamwork by preventing a home run in the seventh inning. With the teams tied at 5-5, Detroit's Kerry Carpenter hit a deep shot that Abreu nearly caught at the warning track. The ball tipped off his glove but Rafaela quickly reacted, catching the ricochet. Despite this impressive play, the Red Sox ultimately lost the game 6-5, marking the end of a three-game sweep by the Tigers.
Abreu attempted to time up the catch at the warning track, jumping up in an attempt to snag the ball before it dropped over the fence.
In a bizarre sequence, Rafaela was at the right place at the right time to corral the ricochet before it dropped on the field for the rare 9-8 play.
