BOSTON (AP) — Rafael Devers hit a tiebreaking, two-run double in the eighth inning to lift the Boston Red Sox to a 4-2 victory over the Washington Nationals on Saturday.
Wearing their alternate bright-yellow jerseys with powder-blue lettering, numbers, and caps, the Red Sox snapped a three-game losing streak with just their second victory in eight games.
“He’s been fighting his swing, trying to stay on pitches,” Red Sox manager Alex Cora said of Devers. “Raffy against anybody, we’ll take that.”
Devers hit his two-out double over the head of left fielder Eddie Rosario off Robert Garcia (0-2) after Tyler O’Neill was intentionally walked.
