Rafael Devers: Only Red Sox Player In History (Age 22 Or Younger) With An Extra-Base Hit And A Run Scored In 7 Straight Games (And Now: 8 Games!)

NOTE: All stats in this post are for players age 22 or younger. That was not completely clear originally. (Here is a list of all Red Sox players with streak of games with an extra-base hit and a run scored.)

UPDATE: Devers hits his first career triple in the sixth inning and scores on Xander Bogaerts's single. That's eight consecutive games!! In all of baseball history, only Ken Griffey Jr. has a longer streak.

Rafael Devers is the first Red Sox hitter in history (age 22 or younger) to have an extra-base hit and a run scored in eight seven straight games.

(In his last 30 games (since April 24), Devers is hitting .367/.406/.625, 1.031. (Updated))

Three Red Sox players had six-game streaks: Carl Yastrzemski (June 11-16, 1963), Ted Williams (May 27-June 1, 1939), and Babe Ruth (April 30-May 9, 1918).

As far as Red Sox players and consecutive games with "only" an extra-base hit, Williams had a nine-game streak in 1939 (August 28-September 4) and a eight-game streak in 1940 (August 13-20), and Reggie Smith had a seven-game streak in 1967 (August 19-23).

From today's Red Sox Game Notes:

Prior to Devers, the last players to record an XBH and score a run in 7+ straight games were Ronald Acuña Jr. (8 in 2018), Jack Clark (8 in 1978), and Hank Aaron (7 in 1956)...No AL player had done that in 80 years (Barney McCosky, 7 in 1939).

I did my own search, using Baseball Reference's Play Index, and the Red Sox Media Dept. is wrong. The last two AL players were Francisco Lindor (2017) and Miguel Andujar (2018).
