Rafael Devers' HR, Nathan Eovaldi's Strong Start Lift Red Sox to Win vs. Marlins

The Boston Red Sox wrapped up a nine-game, 11-day road trip on a winning streak with a 5-3 defeat of the Miami Marlins on Thursday afternoon.

With a full count and two outs, Kevin Plawecki was the difference-maker in the bottom of the sixth inning, knocking a two-run double to end a scoreless jam. In their next ups, Rafael Devers, who had already extended his hitting streak to 10 games with a single, hit a three-run home run to break the game open.

The Marlins matched Boston's three-run seventh inning with as many runs when they got on the board in the bottom of the inning.
