If Mookie Betts left Tuesday night’s 6-2 win over Baltimore in the top of the seventh inning, he would’ve been just fine. The 23-year old crushed a career high 3 home runs in six and a half innings in Boston’s 6-2 win.

But just for good measure, Betts decided to throw in this gem of a catch in the bottom of the 7th.

Number 50 accounted for five of the Red Sox’ six RBIs on the night, and continues to make a strong case for his first All Star bid, in the field and at the plate.

Who are the Red Sox all-time statistical leaders?
