Detroit — Tigers manager AJ Hinch said before the series that he'd be well aware of where Rafael Devers was at all times, but especially late in the game. Meaning, he wasn't going to let Devers beat him if he could in any way avoid it.
Couldn't avoid it Tuesday.
The All-Star third baseman had three hits, including an RBI single in the eighth inning that broke a 3-3 tie and sent the Red Sox to a 5-3 win over the Tigers at Comerica Park.
Devers had an RBI single in a three-run sixth inning, helping Boston nullify a 3-0 Tigers lead.
