ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Rafael Devers set a team record by homering in his sixth consecutive game, Tanner Houck allowed two hits over seven innings, and the Boston Red Sox beat the Tampa Bay Rays 5-0 on Monday night.
Devers had shared the Boston mark of a five-game homer streak with six others, including Hall of Famers Ted Williams and Jimmie Foxx.
The last big leaguer with a streak this long was Mike Trout of the Los Angeles Angels, who had a seven-game run from Sept. 4-12, 2022.
“’I’m very proud to be in that conversation with him,” Devers said through an interpreter. “Obviously we know the type of superstar that he is. He’s a future Hall of Famer and superstar, and to be able to be in the same level with him is very nice.”
Houck (4-5) allowed a third-inning single to Yandy Díaz and an infield hit to Josh Lowe in the seventh. He struck out five and was charged with one walk — which occurred when Devers was ruled to have violated defensive shift rules for an automatic ball on Jonathan Aranda’s groundout in the second on a 3-2 pitch.
