Share this: Mookie Betts had a huge day Sunday at Rogers Centre. The Boston Red Sox right fielder went 4-for-6 with two home runs and eight RBIs in Boston’s 15-1 win over the Toronto Blue Jays and is hitting .483 over his past seven games. Betts became the first leadoff hitter in Red Sox history to record eight RBIs in a game since RBIs became an official stat in 1920, and he also joined Nomar Garciaparra as the only other member of the Red Sox to record multiple games with eight RBIs in his career.

For anybody who isn’t familiar with drifting, it’s when you make the back end come lose on a rear-wheel-drive car, and hold it on the edge of a spin.
