Devers hits 2 HR; Red Sox to host Yanks in AL wild-card game
Rafael Devers and the rest of the Boston Red Sox knew going into the regular season’s final day that they were in a win-and-in scenario for the playoffs. “It was a tough one, too,” Cora said, “just watching the scoreboard.” Cora’s return to the job after a one-year suspension will carry into the postseason because Boston earned the right to host the New York Yankees in the AL wild-card game after coming back to beat Washington 7-5 on a tiebreaking two-run shot by Devers in the ninth inning, his second homer Sunday.
