Wilyer Abreu shines for Boston Red Sox as they extend winning streak

Venezuelan outfielder Wilyer Abreu is a key driver of the Boston Red Sox’s offense as the team records its ninth consecutive series win, the longest stretch since 1912. During the streak that began on July 3, Abreu has hit 10 home runs, collected 108 hits, scored 62 runs and drawn 47 walks, posting a .254 batting average, .327 on‑base percentage, .460 slugging and a .787 OPS, which translates to an OPS+ of 122.

Defensively, Abreu leads the American League and all of Major League Baseball among right fielders in assists (10) and defensive runs saved (20). He also ranks second in the league’s “outs above average” metric with a +4 rating, trailing only Cade Smith. His durability is notable, having appeared in 111 of Boston’s 113 games this season.
