Rafael Devers has finally broken through in his dismal start to the 2025 season, logging his first hit and run batted in during the Red Sox's 3-0 victory against the Orioles. After struggling with a record 15 strikeouts in his first five games, Devers pulled a crucial double off Zach Eflin in the fifth inning, helping Boston secure the win. This performance comes after Devers signed a lucrative six-year, $170 million extension.

On the mound, Garrett Crochet was stellar, pitching eight scoreless innings, while Aroldis Chapman notched his first save. Despite the early-season woes for Devers, Red Sox manager Alex Cora has expressed confidence that the slugger is on the path to recovery, emphasizing the need for tweaks in his swing mechanics.
