On April 27, 2014 — AT US Cellar Field José Abreu sets a record for most RBIs by a rookie in April when he drives in 4 runs in a 9 – 2 win over the Rays, giving him 31 ribbies for the month. He hits a two-run homer off David Price in the 6th and adds a two-run single in the 7th. The previous record was 27, by Albert Pujols in 2001. His 10th homer extends the mark he already held for most long balls. Scott Carroll is the beneficiary of all those runs, as he wins his major league debut.
