Fox Sports Update. A day game at Fenway Park is about as good as it gets for a baseball fan. The Red Sox fans were treated to a win today. Boston shut out the Rangers 5-0 with designated hitter Rafael Devers launching an opposite field home run over the Green Monster in the seventh inning. Red Sox up 4-0. He'll tag that one to left field. That one's headed back toward the wall. Sailing, sailing. Ron Rafi Devers, number six.

That was courtesy of Nesson as the Red Sox took the three-game series from Texas. After the game, Devers made it clear he has no interest in another position switch. Devers said Red Sox management approached him about filling in as Boston's first baseman if Tristan Cass is out for the season with an injury. Three-time All-Star said in part, quote, Right now, I don't think it would be an appropriate decision by them to ask me to play another position. Devers was asked to move from third base to DH during spring training after the Red Sox signed Alex Bregman in free agency.

In his five-plus seasons in Pittsburgh, Shelton went .306 and .440, failing to make the postseason and never finishing above .500.

With reigning National League Rookie of the Year Paul Skeens as the franchise cornerstone, the Pirates had hoped to contend this season, but at 12-26, Pittsburgh now turns to bench coach Don Kelly.

Heading over to the NFL, the Texans went out and got quarterback C.J. Stroud another wide receiver in the NFL draft, selecting Jaden Higgins with their first pick, and Houston showed how much they believe in the Iowa State product today.
