O’Neill went 3-for-4 at the plate and drove in three runs in the Red Sox’ 7-5 win.
Tyler O’Neill reignited a stagnant Red Sox offense on Saturday, giving Boston enough of a push to beat the White Sox for the second straight night.
O’Neill blasted a pair of home runs on Saturday, went 3-for-4 at the plate, drove in 3 RBIs and scored three times, stuffing the stat sheet offensively. O’Neill’s power had been on display all season long, but his bat quieted down considerably post-All-Star break — just as the majority of the Red Sox offense did.
In his last 20 games leading up to Saturday night, O’Neill only hit three home runs. So, a multi-HR game was huge for the outfielder’s confidence as Boston heads into its most important stretch of the season, still holding onto its hope of securing an American League wildcard spot.
