Stop us if you’ve heard this before: Rafael Devers hit a home run.
The Red Sox third baseman has been a force at the plate all season for Boston and continued that trend Monday night.

Not only is Devers just two behind Xander Bogaerts for the team lead, he also became the first Red Sox player to hit 23 homers in a single season before turning 23 years old since Tony Conigliaro, who had 28 in 1966.
