Rafael Devers gave Red Sox fans hope with this dramatic inside-the-park home run
It’s another feat for 20-year-old rookie Rafael Devers.
The Red Sox were trailing by two runs in the ninth inning of Game 4 against the Houston Astros in the ALDS on Monday at Fenway Park.
Facing Astros closer Ken Giles, Devers smacked a two-strike, 87.9-mile-per-hour slider that bounced off the Green Monster, buying Devers enough time to hoof it around the bases and cut the Houston lead to 5-4.
Devers became the youngest player in baseball’s postseason history to hit an inside-the-park homer.
But Boston couldn’t come up with any more offense, losing to Houston, 5-4.
