Rafael Devers set a Red Sox franchise record for consecutive games with a home run in Boston's series-opening 5-0 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday night in St. Petersburg, Fla.

In the fourth inning, the third baseman wrote himself into the Red Sox record book with an opposite-field, two-run shot to left on a 97-mph four-seam fastball from Taj Bradley (1-2) for a 3-0 lead.

It was his sixth straight game going deep, eclipsing the high mark most recently matched by Bobby Dalbec in 2020.

Boston starter Tanner Houck (4-5) used 94 pitches over seven innings to shut down the Rays. The right-hander allowed two hits, fanned five and issued one walk via a defensive alignment violation.

Yandy Diaz, Josh Lowe and Jose Caballero had singles as the Rays were blanked for the second time this season. Bradley fanned a season-high 10 batters without issuing a walk, but he surrendered five runs on six hits over seven innings.

Mariners 5, Yankees 4

Ty France hit a tiebreaking RBI single to cap a four-run ninth inning off Clay Holmes as Seattle rallied for a victory over host New York.

The Mariners stopped New York's seven-game winning streak by scoring four times off Holmes (1-1), who blew his second save in 15 chances and surrendered earned runs for the first time this season.

Eduard Bazardo (1-0) allowed an RBI single by Jon Berti that pushed the Yankees' lead to 4-1 in the eighth, but he earned the win as Seattle prevailed for the fifth time in its past eight games.

Marlins 3, Brewers 2 (10 innings)

Miami's Otto Lopez blooped an RBI single into right with two outs in the bottom of the ninth to send the game to extra innings. Tanner Scott (4-4) came away with the win.

The Brewers' bullpen had to shoulder most of the load, as starter Joe Ross left after one inning because of a low back strain. The first five relievers out of the Milwaukee bullpen combined for seven scoreless innings. However, Trevor Megill blew a save in the ninth, and Mitch White (1-1) took the loss.

Padres 6, Braves 5 (Game 1)

He yielded a third-inning home run to Tomas Nido and five other hits but didn't walk a batter. Emmanuel Clase picked up his 14th save.

Tylor Megill (0-2) returned from a shoulder issue suffered in his season debut on March 31 to give New York five decent innings. Megill allowed three runs (two earned) to go with four hits and two walks while striking out seven.

Braves 3, Padres 0 (Game 2)

Chris Sale threw seven shutout innings to log his third straight scoreless start and host Atlanta downed San Diego to earn a split of a doubleheader while ending a four-game losing streak.

Sale (7-1) allowed five hits, did not walk a batter and struck out nine in winning for the sixth straight time. He has covered 20 innings over his past three outings. Pierce Johnson pitched a scoreless eighth and Raisel Iglesias worked a perfect ninth to earn his 11th save.
