The Rafael Devers home run streak: While the Red Sox might not be the front page news as a team — Boston, 23-24, sits in fourth place in the American League East — there is one subplot currently commanding attention.
Rafael Devers’s home run streak was stretched to five consecutive games on Sunday in the Red Sox win over the Cardinals.
Devers, 27, hit a towering two-run shot in the sixth inning.
“It’s fun to watch, isn’t it? When that guy gets on a heater, it’s fun to watch,” said outfielder Tyler O’Neil, who is in his first season as Devers’s teammate.
