Boston Red Sox manager Alex Cora expressed his belief that New York Yankees pitcher Gerrit Cole hit Rafael Devers intentionally during their recent game. After Devers was hit in the first inning, he was intentionally walked later on. Despite this tactic, the Red Sox managed to score runs off Cole, who struggled on the mound.

Cole, a notable starting pitcher and recent Cy Young Award winner, downplayed the incident, claiming he did not intend to hit Devers. The teams are set to continue their rivalry with another matchup soon.
