Rafael Devers Walks it Off with Eighth Homer
Rafael Devers went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in his team's 7-6 walk-off win against the Atlanta Braves. The 28-year-old singled, doubled, scored twice, and drew a walk. Devers struck out in the bottom of the first inning, but that was the last time Atlanta would keep him off base. He knocked in his first run with an RBI single in the bottom of the seventh off Braves reliever Aaron Bummer, and scored one batter later when teammate Alex Bregman doubled him home, cutting the deficit to 6-4. Then, in the bottom of the ninth, Devers sent a hanging Pierce Johnson curveball 402 feet over the right-field wall to walk it off. It was his eighth homer, and the three-hit performance has brought him up to an excellent .284 average and .402 OBP (.896 OPS). He sure has put the early-season slump behind him.
