Red Sox's Rafael Devers: Two-day break works out

Devers reached base four times Friday, going 3-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored in a 9-3 win over the Rays.

Devers, who had been held out of the starting lineup two consecutive days earlier in the week, is 5-for-7 with three runs scored and an RBI over two games since his break. The 20-year-old rookie had started 23 straight games, but his production started to drop off, prompting manager John Farrell to give Devers a break. Over the final 15 games of that 23-game stretch, Devers was hitting .179 with just two extra-base hits and one RBI. With Dustin Pedroia back from injury and Eduardo Nunez (back) around, Farrell can more effectively manage Devers' playing time.
