Boston Red Sox DFS SPIN
Justin Turner went 2-for-5 with two RBI on Tuesday as the Red Sox lost to the Rays in eleven innings. Turner reached on an infield single in the sixth inning, and the Rays threw the ball around, which allowed Ceddanne Rafaela to score from third base. Turner’s second RBI of the night came in the very next inning when he roped a run-scoring single to left field. The 38-year-old veteran hasn’t missed a beat this season, hitting .285/.357/.478 in his twelfth season in the majors.
Tampa Bay Rays DFS SPIN
Brandon Lowe went 1-for-5 with a three-run walk-off homer in the eleventh inning of Tuesday’s contest against the Red Sox. Lowe made his only hit of the night count when he connected with a 393-foot three-run blast to send Rays fans home with their heads held high. While it is doubtful he will surpass 39 homers in a season like he did in 2021, his 18 homers across 382 plate appearances is nothing to scoff at.
