Mookie Betts shows off his arm in Red Sox win
Red Sox left fielder Andrew Benintendi, center fielder Jackie Bradley Jr., and right fielder Mookie Betts celebrate the 2-1 win.
It’s been a good start to the week for Red Sox outfielders in the field.
On Monday night, rookie Andrew Benintendi showed off his glove in left field. On Tuesday night, right fielder Mookie Betts showed off his arm, throwing out Rays center fielder Kevin Kiermaier, who was trying to stretch a double into a triple in the eighth.

Betts’s on-target throw came at a key time. With the Red Sox leading 2-1, Kiermaier would’ve represented the tying run on third with one out in the inning.
The Red Sox held on to win 2-1.
