The Boston Red Sox offense came to life on Wednesday in an 8-0 win over the Atlanta Braves in the second game of the series.

It was a stellar performance from Boston to even up the series, and could be something to build off of. The Red Sox offense put up 15 hits, as every player had at least one hit, while Jarren Duran had four and Ceddanne Rafaela had three.

Following the impressive win, Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy shared high praise for Rafaela and his overall approach at the plate.

“Impressive,” Tracy said postgame on Wednesday. “The biggest thing for me, the average and all that notwithstanding, just overall his swing decisions at the plate [have improved a lot].

“The month I've been here is as good as I've seen. He's just being particular about what he's swinging at, and when he gets a good pitch to hit, he's hitting it hard, so he's swinging the bat very well.”

Along with Rafaela, Tracy was impressed with the lineup and how they were able to stack hits.

“Singles work when you stack them,” Tracy said. “That has been, at times, the problem. We can look up and get eight or nine hits, but we don't stack them. But we stacked them today. That's usually what equals big crooked-number innings.”

The Red Sox will look to win the series against the Braves on Thursday afternoon.
