ARLINGTON, Texas -- Boston Red Sox designated hitter Rafael Devers became the first major leaguer to strike out 12 times in a season's first four games.
Devers went 0-for-4 with two more strikeouts Sunday in Boston's 3-2 loss to the Texas Rangers.
Devers' latest mark for futility came a day after he became the first big leaguer to be fanned 10 times in the first three games of a season.
He's 0-for-16, though he did draw a two-out walk in the ninth Sunday to keep the inning alive and put the potential tying run in scoring position.
