The Boston Red Sox lost to the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday night as Rafael Devers moved up a prestigious list in team history, putting himself alongside Nomar Garciaparra in the record books.
lost to the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday night, 7-5, at Fenway Park. The loss means that the Sox dropped the four-game series against Tampa Bay and fell back to .500 at 22-22. After a better than expected start, the Sox are now in fourth place in the American League East.
If you're looking for a silver lining out of the loss, it's that the Sox showed some resolve and Rafael Devers made some history. Boston was down 5-1 in the fifth inning before scoring three runs in the fifth and one in the sixth to pull even at 5-5. Alex Cora's team did not give up, but unfortunately, Boston couldn't pull ahead and lost it in the top of the ninth.As long as he stays healthy, Devers is assured to pass Garciaparra this season and will likely pass Varitek as well. After a slow start, Devers is now hitting .288 with a .902 OPS.
The 27-year-old is the centerpiece of the Red Sox franchise now that Mookie Betts and Xander Bogaerts have moved on. A lifetime .281 hitter, he's one of the more productive position players in all of baseball.Brady Farkas is a baseball writer for Fastball on Sports Illustrated/FanNation and the host of 'The Payoff Pitch' podcast which can be found on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
