Ruf is suing the Cincinnati Reds for damages in the Hamilton County (Ohio) Court of Common Pleas.

Ruf is seeking punitive and compensatory damages and accusing the Reds and their grounds crew of failing to provide a safe playing space.

Rafael Devers had a career-high eight RBIs between the sixth and eighth innings to lead the Boston Red Sox to a 19-5 win over the visiting Baltimore Orioles in what was scheduled to be the first game of a Friday day-night doubleheader.

The embarrassing eighth inning — in which the Red Sox brought 18 batters to the plate, scored 13 runs and recorded 12 hits — only happened because of Domínguez and Soto’s calamitous sixth.
