The Boston Red Sox Voltger, Wilyer Abreu, was supposed to have the first double -headed match on Sunday against the Cardinals of St. Louis. Instead, he pinched and delivered a sure blow.
So, how did Abreu follow this in match 2? Everything that the 25 -year -old Slugger has turned heads with another exceptional performance.
Abreu remained red on the plate, becoming 2 for 6 with three points produced from the cleaning point in the order while the Red Sox beat the cardinals, 18-7, in Fenway Park to win the scanning of the series.
The strong demonstration won Abreu, who treated a viral gastrointestinal disease at the start of spring training, a franchise story. According to the Red Sox, the main director of media relations and baseball information JP Long, the 0.483 Bâton average of Abreu and the basic percentage of 0.595 are the highest of all the players of the Red Sox in history during the first 10 games with a minimum of 25 plaques appearances.
“I felt confident when I left training in the spring that I was in good health and ready to have a very good season,” said journalists after his departure by translator Carlos Villoria Benítez, according to Christopher Smith de Masslive. “Obviously, it’s much better than what I expected.”

At the end of Sunday rout, Abreu heard MVP songs when he came on the plate of Fenway’s faithful, and for a good reason. He rolled the Boston offensive at the bottom of the first with a simple ring to the right. In his next next round, he laced a double in the gap of the center left, giving the Red Sox an advance of 6-1.
“Try to use the whole terrain,” said Abreu, who also kicked the opposite field. “It’s a huge help – even more here in Fenway when we try to use the monster to our advantage. If I can do it in a coherent way, it will be a very happy new year for me. ”
But Abreu did not do it with the bat. He also reduced Lars Nootbaar trying to go from the first to the third on a single of Willson Contreras at the top of the third. Abreu unleashed a perfect jet to get Nootbaar because Alex Bregman did not even have to move his glove to apply the label.
“He worked hard during the offseason with his swing, his body,” said the manager of the Red Sox, Alex Cora, to the journalists, by Nesn. “Right now, his departure is incredible.”
