Rafael Devers came through in the clutch for the Boston Red Sox with a game-winning RBI double in the 10th inning against the Seattle Mariners. The Red Sox secured a 3-2 victory, with Zack Kelly pitching out of a jam in the extra inning for the win. Danny Jansen’s tying single in the sixth helped set the stage for Devers’ heroics.
In a tight race with the Houston Astros in the AL West, the Mariners put up a fight with Josh Rojas homering and Dylan Moore adding an RBI single. However, Devers’ timely hit proved to be the difference-maker as Tyler O’Neill crossed the plate for the winning run.
Facing an open base at first and a left-handed pitcher on the mound, Devers capitalized on the opportunity and delivered the decisive blow against Seattle. It was the fourth walk-off win for the Red Sox this season and marked Devers’ first game-ending hit since June 2021.
Despite a wild pitch that advanced the Mariners’ runner to third in the top of the 10th, Kelly managed to escape the inning unscathed by striking out key batters and inducing a groundout. The victory was a hard-fought battle for the Red Sox, showcasing their resilience and determination in securing the series win against a tough opponent.
