FINAL SCORE: Boston Red Sox 6, Philadelphia Phillies 3

IN BRIEF: At last, the Red Sox are victorious. They have Rafael Devers to thank for it as the 23-year-old slugger notched three hits including a two-run home run and an RBI double. Jackie Bradley Jr. had a nice day as well, going 2-for-2 with two RBI and a walk.

Most importantly, Boston's pitching staff finally kept it together as Kyle Hart allowed two runs in 3.2 innings and the bullpen allowed only one run the rest of the way.
