Bregman and Abreu each drove in three runs for the Red Sox, who were 1-4 against the Rangers this season before pulling out the victory.

His 38 sinkers averaged 95.4 mph, up from his 94.3 mph season average, per Baseball Savant. He topped out at 97.3 mph. He induced eight swings and misses: six with his sweeper and one each with his sinker and splitter.

With runners on second and third and two outs in the bottom of the seventh of a tie game, the Rangers elected to pitch to Bregman with first base open. Bregman — who’d already homered and doubled — made them regret the strategy, dumping a two-run single to left for the game-winning runs.
