AROLDIS CHAPMAN brought the heat on Wednesday evening.
The Boston Red Sox won their second consecutive victory against an enemy of the American League with a 4-3 victory against the Rays of Tampa Bay. Walker Buehler helped an enclosure of taxed surveys by launching seven sleeves during a rebound outing at Fenway Park.
After Justin Wilson and Greg Weissert combined to work an eighth aimless, Alex Cora turned to his. Chapman only needed 12 launchers to withdraw the team for their 12th stop for the season.
The 37 -year -old put an end to the game in style, obtaining the Voltueur from the Rays Josh Lowe to whistle on an end -of -game withdrawal. Chapman put a little more on his last throw, pulling the quick ball at 102 mph sibbling.
Take a look at the last moment of Wednesday from the NESN broadcast:

Boston signed Chapman for a one -year contract after the Southpaw published a 3.79 MPM for Pittsburgh Pirates last season. He has already delivered a huge return on investment, creating an MPM of 1.59 and 0.88 whip.
Chapman continues to light the radar pistols during his 16th season. The double champion of the World Series pulled his cursor at an average speed of the MLB of 100.1 MPH. Meanwhile, Statcast follows its fast ball at 98.6 MPH.
Despite hard throwing, Chapman carried out considerable control gains in 2025. The typically erratic lift had issued a walking rate of at least 14.5% in each of the last four seasons, but he has improved this percentage to 8.2 by granting nine free passes in 28 1/3 rounds.

Wednesday marked the fifth consecutive appearance of Chapman without a walk. He also did not allow a deserved race since May 27, totaling 11 stick withdraws at a walk during his last eight outings.
The Red Sox entered the season with an uncertainty of ninth round, but a resurgent chapman put an end to a narrower controversy. He lends a strong argument for his eighth nod of the stars while Boston tries to climb the classification of the AL.
