Devers records third 100 RBI season, Red Sox beat Orioles 6-1 in season finale

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:18:17 GMT

It was originally ruled no RBI, but everyone in Camden Yards knew it wouldn’t be long before the call was changed.With one out in the top of the third and a man at third base, Rafael Devers grounded a soft chopper to shortstop Gunnar Henderson, who booted the ball and allowed both the runner to score and Devers to reach safely.
