On the pitching side, Freddy Peralta stands out with an ERA of 1.286 and a WHIP of 0.7143 over his last three appearances. His control and efficiency were evident in his game on May 22 against the Marlins, where he pitched effectively with only one earned run allowed.
The Red Sox will counter with their own set of formidable players. Rafael Devers at third base has been consistent with a .250 batting average and an OPS of 1.25 over his last three games. His power-hitting capabilities were highlighted by his home run against the Tampa Bay Rays on May 20.
Center fielder Ceddanne Rafaela has also been impressive for Boston, especially in his game on May 20 where he hit .333 with an OPS of 1.666 including a home run that showcased his slugging potential.
