Devers homers in fifth straight game
Rafael Devers homered in a fifth straight game Sunday against the Cardinals. He took Ryan Fernandez deep in the sixth inning today. Devers had four homers in 31 games this season before this stretch. He’s also now working on a nine-game hitting streak, though he’s totaled just 11 hits in that span. His average is actually lower now (.285) than it was two weeks ago. His .555 slugging percentage is vastly improved, though.
Paredes hits two-run home run
Isaac Paredes hit a two-run home run on Sunday against the Blue Jays. Paredes’ homer was the only sign of life for the Rays’ offense on Sunday as they were stifled by Alek Manoah for seven innings. Paredes continues to prove his doubters wrong with a .309 batting average, .916 OPS, and nine home runs on the season.
