The Boston Red Sox haven’t had the most success in the last week, but third baseman Rafael Devers has been on a tear.
Entering Monday, Devers was tied for a franchise record for home runs in consecutive games, hitting one in five straight. Then, in the fourth inning against the Tampa Bay Rays, Devers delivered a two-run shot to the opposite field to make it six in a row.

No other player in the over 120 years of the franchise’s existence has ever accomplished that feat. Six players in MLB history have hit home runs in seven straight games and three have done it in eight.
With the way that Devers is hitting, it feels like he might just never stop hitting balls out of the park.
