Rafael Devers Snaps 12-Game Home Run Drought
Rafael Devers broke a 12-game home run drought in the team's 9-6 loss to the New York Yankees on Friday. Devers' two-run homer in the seventh inning against left-hander Brent Headrick traveled 419 feet and was his only hit of the game. He finished the evening 1-for-4 with a walk and an additional run scored. The HR, Devers' 13th of the season, was his first since May 23. Although his numbers dropped during that dry spell, the 28-year-old is still enjoying another tremendous offensive season with a .284/.407/.514 line, 56 RBI, and a career-high 17.2% walk rate in 297 trips to the plate. He'll face Yankees lefty Ryan Yarbrough on Saturday. Devers is 6-for-27 with two extra-base hits (HR, double), seven strikeouts, and three walks against Yarbrough.
