Up until Rafael Devers finally broke through to boost the Red Sox to victory, Boston had a weeks-long struggles as a lineup on capitalizing with runners in scoring position. Boston consistently failed to score runs on the recent road trip and went 2-for-29 with runners in scoring position entering play on Saturday. The Red Sox ultimately got the 4-2 win over the Washington Nationals on the swing from go-ahead double from Devers, though another Boston bat set the tone earlier in the contest.
