In a dramatic series of games at Fenway Park, the Boston Red Sox secured victories against the Washington Nationals, with pivotal moments including Rafael Devers' two-run double in the 8th inning of Saturday's game, leading to a 4-2 win. This hit was crucial as it came after the Nationals intentionally walked Tyler O'Neill, setting the stage for Devers' game-winning double, which was hit at 106.5 mph and traveled 400 feet. On Sunday, Ceddanne Rafaela also played a key role, hitting a two-run double following a fielding error by Nationals' Victor Robles, contributing to a 3-2 victory. Additionally, Brayan Bello made a successful return from the injured list, pitching five innings and allowing just two earned runs.

The clutch hit they've been looking for.... A two on, two out line drive double from Rafael Devers to left scores two... 4-2 #RedSox going to the 9th... @wbz
Garcia, after a first-pitch slider in the dirt, went with heater after heater to Devers. Devers burned him on it, drilling a double to left-center to score two runs and put the Sox ahead, 4-2, in the 8th.

Wilyer Abreu in his first PA crushed a ball at 105 mph but to dead center for a 380 foot out with the wind blowing in. He corrected his aim in the second PA, pulling a ball to RF and into the visitor's bullpen for a solo HR at 106.5 mph and 400 feet.
