Rafael Devers is the fourth player ever to hit a postseason inside-the-park home run in the ninth inning
The Red Sox lost, but the moment was still cool.
RAFAEL DEVERS IS A PERFECT BASEBALL ANGEL HE CAN DO ANYTHING HE IS ALL OF OUR SON AND I LOVE HIM EVEN THOUGH THE RED SOX LOST THIS GAME LOOK AT THE GOOD THING HE DID AND HE’S STILL ONLY 20 YEARS OLD.
Okay, for those of you who came here not knowing who Rafael Devers is yet or who weren’t watching the Red Sox-Astros game live, here is what happened.

With the Red Sox down 5-3 and their season on the line, and with them only left with a few outs in order to make something happen, Boston’s 20-year old rookie and joy of a human being Rafael Devers hit an inside-the-park-home run to get Boston within one run of the Astros.
It was only the third inside-the-park home run in Red Sox history and the fourth postseason instance of it happening ever. The last time it happened for Boston was all the way back in the 1916 World Series.
That's the 4th postseason 9th-inning inside-the-park HR in our database https://t.co/GfbHp3szj7

Fun fact, he also became the youngest Red Sox player ever to hit a postseason home run back in Game 3.
