Rafael Devers, Justin Turner lead Boston’s HR derby; Red Sox top Cubs 8-3 for 6th straight win

CHICAGO (AP) — Rafael Devers hit two long solo homers off Kyle Hendricks, Justin Turner had a two-run shot and three RBIs in his first start at second base in nearly eight years, and the Boston Red Sox powered past the Chicago Cubs 8-3 on Friday for their sixth straight win.

Adam Duvall, Triston Casas and Yu Chang also went deep to help Boston win for the ninth time in 10 and climb six games over .500 (49-43) on a warm night at Wrigley Field with the ball carrying well.

“Obviously, today (the park) played pretty small here,” Boston manager Alex Cora said.
