The Boston Red Sox have one of the best defensive outfields in baseball, and they showed off their hands team Wednesday night. Right fielder Wilyer Abreu and center fielder Ceddanne Rafaela combined to take a home run away from Detroit Tigers slugger Kerry Carpenter in the seventh inning at Comerica Park (GameTracker).

Unfortunately for the Red Sox, it was a highlight in a losing effort. Aroldis Chapman allowed a ninth-inning rally that culminated in a walk-off single by Tigers pinch-hitter Justyn-Henry Malloy.

Hunter Dobbins is slated to take the mound for Boston against Tarik Skubal for Detroit.

The Detroit Tigers saw their first AL Cy Young winner since 2013 last year when Tarik Skubal became the unanimous choice, and he might just do it again.
