Making all of his starts this season at center field, Rafaela had raised his slash line to a career high .271/.314/.483 this year.

And after the game he spoke out about that change to note that he prefers playing in the outfield.

How did the Red Sox reward the red-hot Ceddanne Rafaela after crushing a walk-off home run in a dramatic win Saturday? By moving him up in the lineup and giving him a new position, too.
