Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers explodes for historic six-hit performance

The Boston Red Sox had a night for the record books during Tuesday’s win in Cleveland. While Chris Sale stole most of the headlines by reaching 2,000 career strikeouts, Rafael Devers made a bit of history of his own.

Devers went 6-for-6 with four doubles and three RBI to lead an offense that barely squeaked by the rallying Tribe. This marks the first time in the modern era (since 1900) that a hitter has collected 6+ hits and 4+ doubles in a game, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
