Red Sox slugger Rafael Devers has hit 67 home runs at home in Fenway Park, but never before has he hit one like he did on Tuesday night.
With a runner on first and one out in the bottom of the fourth, Devers pulled a flyball down the line in right off of Rockies starter Chase Anderson. The ball curled toward the foul pole—the famous “Pesky Pole” that stands just 302 feet from home plate—and struck it. The umpiring crew wasn’t sure at first whether to call it a home run, but after a replay review, Devers allowed to circle the bases on one of the shortest home runs you’ll ever see.
