After a dismal start to the American League Divisional Series, the Boston Red Sox rallied to put in a strong performance in Game 2 against the Tampa Bay Rays.

They pulled off a stunning performance in the Tropicana Field to level the series 1-1, as the action now moves to Boston. Following the match, Red Sox manager Alex Cora gave fans a heartwarming moment to enjoy.

Alex Cora celebrates the Red Sox’s victory with his family

During the game against the Rays, Cora got most of his game plan right. While the pitchers did their job well, the Red Sox thrived off the performances from their hitters yesterday. Although they fell 5-2 behind after the first inning, Enrique “Kike” Hernandez led from the front as the Red Sox scored a whopping 12 runs in just six innings.

The 30-year-old scored three runs and recorded three RBI, and received support from other hitters as well. Along with the Puerto Rican, Alex Verdugo, Xander Bogaerts, Rafael Devers and J. D. Martinez smashed home runs to cap off a fine display from the 2018 World Series champions.
