BOSTON (AP) \u2014 Rafael Devers had a career-high eight RBIs, hitting a three-run homer in the sixth inning and a grand slam in a 13-run eighth to lead the Boston Red Sox over the Baltimore Orioles 19-5 Friday.<\/p>\n

Boston trailed 2-1 entering the sixth, when Ceddanne Rafaela hit an RBI single off Seranthony Dom\u00ednguez (2-1), Jarren Duran had an RBI single against Gregory Soto and Devers followed with his fifth homer in 10 career at-bats against Soto.<\/p>\n

Devers had four hits and leads the major leagues with 47 RBIs. He hit his seventh career slam and his second in a six-day span, his 12th homer this season. The drive came off rookie infielder Emmanuel Rivera, who gave up eight runs and got three outs, leaving him with a 72.00 ERA. Devers hit an RBI single earlier in the inning against Cionel P\u00e9rez.<\/p>\n

Boston scored its most runs since a 20-8 win over Toronto on Aug. 11, 2021, and finished with 20 hits. The 13-run inning was the highest in the major leagues this year and the most for the Red Sox since a 14-run first against the Florida Marlins on June 27, 2003.<\/p>\n

Baltimore has lost nine of 10 and and 15 of 18, dropping to 16-33. The Orioles are 1-5 since\u00a0manager Brandon Hyde was fired<\/a>\u00a0and replaced on an interim basis by third base coach Tony Mansolino.<\/p>\n

Red Sox third baseman Alex Bregman left with right quadriceps tightness\u00a0after singling in the fifth inning.<\/p>\n

Rob Redsnyder had four RBIs, including a three-run homer in the eighth off P\u00e9rez. Duran had three RBIs.<\/p>\n

Garrett Whitlock (3-0) allowed one hit in two scoreless innings.<\/p>\n

The game was scheduled to be part of a day-night doubleheader, but the second game was rained out.<\/p>\n

Key moment<\/p>\n

After Ram\u00f3n Ur\u00edas’ one-out RBI single off Justin Slaton cut Baltimore’s gap to 6-3 in the eighth, Slaton struck out Cedric Mullins and retired Heston Kjerstad on a groundout.<\/p>\n

Key stat<\/p>\n

Devers’ RBIs were the most in a game for a Boston player since Mookie Betts had eight against Toronto on July 2, 2015.<\/p>\n
