It’s a tale as old as time: Rafael Devers owns Gerrit Cole.
The Red Sox’ longtime third baseman continued to assert his career dominance over the Yankees’ ace in the Bronx Saturday afternoon. Devers fittingly collected his 1,000th career hit via a RBI single off of Cole in the third inning to tie the game at one run apiece.
Watch the 27-year-old reach the milestone:
With that run-scoring knock, Devers became just the sixth Red Sox player to reach 1,000 career hits before turning 28 years old.
Manager Alex Cora praised the player for achieving the mark after the game.
