With his 200th career home run and 466 extra-base hits, Rafael Devers passed Adrian Beltre on this prestigious list in Dominican baseball history.
Boston Red Sox star Rafael Devers popped his 200th career home run on Sunday afternoon in a loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks at Fenway Park.
However, that home run was also the 466th extra-base hit of his career, which moved him up this prestigious list in Dominican baseball history. It put him past former Seattle Mariners star Adrian Beltre, who was just inducted this past summer into the National Baseball Hall of Fame.Rafael Devers now has 466 extra-base hits, passing Adrian Beltré for 2nd most by a Dominican-born player at the age of 27 or younger.
Beltre signed a five-year, $64 million contract to join the Mariners and performed admirably, if not spectacularly. He hit more than 100 homers in his Mariners tenure and won a Gold Glove in both 2007 and 2008. He also played with Mariners legends like Felix Hernandez, Ken Griffey Jr. and Ichiro Suzuki. He remains great friends with Hernandez to this day.
As for Devers, he is trying to lead the Red Sox back to the playoffs for the first time since 2021. They enter play on Monday at 4.5 games back of the third and final wild card spot in the American League.: The latest episode of the "Refuse to Lose" podcast is out as Brady Farkas talks about the Mariners firing Scott Servais, hiring Dan Wilson and Jerry Dipoto getting to stay on the job. Furthermore, we are joined by Ty Buttrey, who played most of this season at Triple-A Tacoma.
