In the seventh inning, Randy proceeded to the third base on an RBI double. When Red Sox’s Josh Taylor got distracted, Arozarena astonishingly flew to the fourth base, stealing both the show and home.

Randy Arozarena revealed it was his first-ever stolen home
Randy Arozarena is also known as the do-it-all rookie, and he proves it every time he steps on the field. After putting on a historic performance, Randy said, “I noticed the pitcher wasn’t really keeping his attention to me. So I was able to take a big enough lead and be able to take that base. That’s the first time I’ve ever stolen home.”
