The Red Sox third baseman went 1 for 4 with a double off the Green Monster in the seventh inning in Boston’s 5-4 comeback win over the Rays.

"I've been waiting for this moment since I was watching games with my mom in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007," Rafaela said.

Alex Bregman has fit in seamlessly with the Red Sox. But the third baseman has the option to opt out of his contract after this season and test free agency.

Six relievers followed injured Red Sox starter Hunter Dobbins, who came off the IL before the game only to leave in the second inning. Bregman was 1 for 4 with a double in his first game back from a quad injury.

Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora told the media pregame that All-Star third baseman Alex Bregman will be back from injury “sooner rather than later,” and designated hitter Masataka Yoshida will likely be activated this week.
