Watch Rafael Devers Blast Go-Ahead Home Run For Red Sox Vs. Yankees

The Boston Red Sox were held scoreless by Gerrit Cole and the New York Yankees for four innings Friday, but after Xander Bogaerts broke things open with a sacrifice fly that scored Kiké Hernández, Rafael Devers played the hero.

Devers took a 99.2 mph fastball for a ride 412 feet out of the park, marking his 25th home run of the year. Jarren Duran, who reached on a ground-rule double, came around to score with him, putting the Red Sox up 3-1 over the Yankees.

After a slow (and scary) start when Eduardo Rodriguez exited with what was later deemed migraine symptoms, Devers and the mighty fifth inning was exactly what the Red Sox needed.
