As the Boston Red Sox prepare to face off against the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium, all eyes are on Rafael Devers, whose recent performances have positioned him as a key player for the Red Sox. Devers, playing third base, has shown exceptional skill, particularly in one of the previous games where he boasted an impressive batting average of 1.000 with two home runs and three RBIs, highlighting his crucial role in the team's offensive lineup.
Over the last three games, Devers has maintained a batting average of .500, with his on-base plus slugging (OPS) reaching an outstanding 2.5 in one game, underscoring his significant impact on the field. His consistent performance across these matches suggests he could be a game-changer in the upcoming clash against the Royals.
On the Royals' side, Hunter Renfroe stands out as their top performer. Renfroe's ability to deliver when it matters has been evident, especially with a batting average of .500 and an OPS of 1.85 in one of the past games.
