Rob Refsnyder News: Homers off righty

Refsnyder started in place of a slumping Ceddanne Rafaela and went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Monday's 4-2 win over the White Sox.

Refsnyder, a lineup staple when the Red Sox face a left-hander, got a rare start against a righty and delivered his first home run of the season in his first at-bat. Boston hasn't seen too many southpaws thus far, and Refsnyder entered Monday's game with just 21 plate appearances. Rafaela's bat showed life in the first two games of the series, but overall, it's done little to help his season-long numbers, as he carries a .582 OPS with just three extra-base hits in 74 plate appearances. Notably, Refsnyder has the same number of XBH over 25 plate appearances.
