Rafael Devers is heating up.
After going through a small slump last week, the Boston Red Sox rookie third baseman broke out with a monster home run off New York Yankees closer Aroldis Chapman on Sunday night, and he continued to rake Monday night at Fenway Park.
The Red Sox trailed the Cleveland Indians by three in the second inning, but the 20-year-old trimmed the deficit to two when he launched a solo home run that landed on top of the Green Monster.
Take a look at Devers’ blast below.
