The slugging third baseman rewrote the record books for the Red Sox on Monday night, setting a new franchise mark by homering for the sixth consecutive game during Boston’s road game against the Rays.
Devers went yard in the fourth inning against Rays starter Taj Bradley, taking a high fastball and clubbing it into the left field bleachers.
Prior to Monday night, Devers was just the sixth Red Sox player to homer in five straight games — joining Bobby Dalbec (2020), Jose Canseco (1995), George Scott (1977), Dick Stuart (1963), Ted Williams (1957), and Jimmie Foxx (1940).
