Adam Duvall of the Boston Red Sox reacts after hitting a walk off home run against the Baltimore Orioles at Fenway Park

MLB fans were unimpressed when the Boston Red Sox signed Adam Duvall to a one-year, $7 million contract in the offseason. The 34-year-old has bounced around the league with moderate success. Since making his MLB debut in 2014, Duvall has finished with a batting average above .250 only once (2019). Last season with the Atlanta Braves, he finished with 12 home runs, 36 RBIs, and a subpar .213/..276/.401 slash line.

However, Duvall is off to a dream start with the Boston Red Sox. The outfielder seems to have found his footing in Boston. In Saturday's tight contest between the Red Sox and the Baltimore Orioles, Duvall stepped up to play the role of hero. His walk-off two-run shot over the Green Monster guided Boston to their first win of the season.

Boston Red Sox fans were buzzing after securing their first win of the season. The walk-off homer sent the crowd into a frenzy and was the perfect finish for the nearly 30,000 supporters in attendance.

Atlanta Braves fans also came out to pay their respects to one of their former players. Duvall was part of the Braves team that defeated the Houston Astros to win the 2021 World Series.

Duvall is off to a strong start in Boston. He has an incredible .556/.600./1556 slash line and a 2.156 OPS. He has recorded two home runs, six RBIs, and four runs over his first two games.

The fanbase in Boston has high expectations and can be extremely demanding. If Duvall continues this red-hot hitting streak, it won't be long before he establishes himself as a fan favorite at Fenway Park.

An experienced MLB veteran like Duvall may be just what the franchise needs to steady the ship.
