ONE BIG TAKEAWAYEnmanuel Valdez found himself back in the Red Sox lineup, returning from Triple-A earlier in the week on the taxi squad.
Valdez got the nod as the designated hitter on Saturday and wasted little time finding his swing again at the big-league level. He launched a solo shot into the Red Sox bullpen to tie the game in the second inning. With Boston leading in the sixth inning, Valdez added insurance with a two-run homer that hooked around the foul pole.
The Red Sox infielder posted his first career multi-home run game in the majors, marking arguably his best performance with Boston.
Boston saw a second-straight game with a Boston hitter tallying two home runs after Ceddanne Rafaela went deep twice on Friday night.
STARS OF THE GAME— Valdez smacked his third and fourth homers of the season.
