MLB roundup: Rafael Devers (8 RBIs), Red Sox pound Orioles 19-5

Devers’ Career Night Powers Red Sox to Rout of Orioles

Rafael Devers had a career-high eight RBIs between the sixth and eighth innings to lead the Boston Red Sox to a dominating 19-5 win over the visiting Baltimore Orioles. This was scheduled to be the first game of a Friday doubleheader, but the night game was postponed, setting up a doubleheader for Saturday.

The Red Sox broke a 2-2 tie in a five-run sixth inning, which Devers (4-for-6) capped with a three-run home run. The offense truly exploded in a 13-run eighth inning, where all nine Boston batters came to the plate twice. The second time through the lineup in the eighth saw Devers hit a grand slam off Orioles’ position player Emmanuel Rivera, who gave up eight runs and eight hits in 13 batters faced. Twelve of Boston’s 20 total hits came in this massive inning, with six players reaching base twice. Five Orioles had multiple hits, and four of their 14 hits came after the Red Sox brought in their own position player, Abraham Toro, to pitch in the ninth. Jackson Holliday went 2-for-5 with two RBIs from the leadoff spot. For insights into baseball betting tips and strategies, you can find more information here.

Dodgers Outlast Mets in 13-Inning Marathon Opener

Teoscar Hernandez led off the 13th inning with an RBI double for visiting Los Angeles, as the Dodgers outlasted the New York Mets 7-5 in the opener of a three-game series.

The Mets, meanwhile, have lost six of their last eight. Both teams squandered numerous chances in extra innings before Hernandez greeted Huascar Brazoban (3-1)—the Mets’ ninth pitcher—by doubling down the third base line to score automatic runner Will Smith. Luis Garcia (2-0), the Dodgers’ eighth pitcher, tossed 2 1/3 hitless innings for the win.

Brett Baty hit a solo shot in the third for the Mets, and Pete Alonso lifted a sacrifice fly in the fourth.
