It took all of 15 games for Rafael Devers to become the Yankee killer that Red Sox Nation fell in love with. Everyone remembers his game-tying home run in the Bronx off of then-Yankee closer Aroldis Chapman's 103 MPH pitch. From then on, it was signature moment after signature moment for Devers, who had 31 homers against the Bronx Bombers in a Red Sox uniform.
Now that he's gone, Red Sox fans have been scouring the team for the next Yankee killer to fill Devers' shoes. While they were hoping for a bat to replace Raffy (and Nathaniel Lowe did a solid job pinch-hitting in that role during the four-game set with six hits and five RBI), it seems like a pitcher has stepped into that role.
