Devers, the usual offensive engine of the Boston team, reaffirmed his status as one of the most feared bats in the circuit. The Dominican slugger took advantage of a high pitch to send the ball over the right field, igniting the Fenway Park fans.

In the same game, Dominican Johan Rojas also made his mark by scoring a run for the Philadelphia Phillies, who defeated the Tampa Bay Rays. From the bullpen, José Alvarado earned the victory with a scoreless inning, backing up the work of Peruvian Jesús Luzardo.

For his part, Ramón Laureano scored a run in the victory of the Minnesota Twins over the Baltimore Orioles. In addition, Jhoan Duran shone again as a closer by pitching the ninth without allowing runs and striking out a rival, earning the save.

Although with less prominence, Dominican Steven Cruz also completed a blank inning in the victory of the Kansas City Royals, consolidating a day of collective contribution for the Quisqueyan legion.

In contrast, Yennier Canó, a Cuban reliever for the Orioles, was charged with two runs in just one-third of an inning and took the loss.

The day reaffirms the dominant presence of Dominican talent in Major League Baseball, where more and more players from the Caribbean country are fundamental pieces in their respective teams.
