Rafael Devers has been nothing short of stellar this season, and Tuesday night’s performance was a microcosm of his entire year.
The Boston Red Sox third baseman collected six hits, including four doubles, in a pivotal 7-6 win over the Cleveland Indians at Progressive Field.
Such a showing was historic for the 22-year-old, as he’s now the first player in the modern era to have a six-hit, four-double game. Furthermore, he becomes the third-youngest player to post a 6-for-6 or better game (both figures courtesy of ESPN).

Devers’ effort almost went to waste, but a 10th-inning homer from Jackie Bradley Jr. and a save from Andrew Cashner in the bottom of the frame gave Boston the win.
