CLEVELAND (AP) — Connor Wong homered twice and Rafael Devers connected for a homer in his return to Boston’s lineup, sending the banged-up Red Sox to an 8-0 win over the Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday night.
Wong hit leadoff homers in the second and sixth innings off Carlos Carrasco (1-2). He added an RBI single in the ninth and had four hits.
Devers, who missed the previous five games with a bone bruise in his knee, homered in the fifth as the Red Sox piled up 16 hits and cooled off baseball’s hottest team with a four-hit shutout.
Rookie outfielder Wilyer Abreu also had four hits and drove in a run in Boston’s second shutout against Cleveland in a week.
The Guardians had their winning streak stopped at five straight. They came in with MLB’s best record and came one win shy of matching the 1966 team (18-6) for the best start in franchise history through 24 games.
