Rafael Devers homered, doubled, singled and drove in three runs to lift the host Boston Red Sox past the Philadelphia Phillies, 6-3, on Wednesday.
Devers' second three-hit game this season snapped a nine-game Red Sox losing streak.
Mitch Moreland added a pair of hits and Jackie Bradley Jr. knocked in two runs for the Red Sox.
Red Sox starter Kyle Hart lasted only 3 2/3 innings. He allowed two hits and two runs while striking out five and walking four.
Austin Brice (1-0) picked up the win in relief and Brandon Workman earned his fourth save in four opportunities with a scoreless ninth inning.
The Phillies managed only three hits and had their four-game winning streak end at intermittently soggy Fenway Park.
Phillies starter Jake Arrieta (1-3) tossed 4 1/3 innings and gave up five hits and four runs to go along with four walks and three strikeouts.
The Phillies struck for a 1-0 lead when Phil Gosselin hit an RBI single to right with the bases loaded and one out in the first. Didi Gregorius hit a sacrifice fly to center to score Rhys Hoskins for a 2-0 advantage. Hoskins was initially called out but was overturned after video replay.
In the third, Devers ripped a two-run homer to center to tie the game at 2.
Boston went ahead 3-2 when Bradley Jr. smacked a sacrifice fly to deep center to score Moreland in the fourth.
The Red Sox took a 4-2 lead in the fifth following a fielding error by Hoskins, allowing Alex Verdugo to come all the way from second to home.
The Phillies closed within 4-3 in the seventh when Hoskins reached safely on a two-base throwing error by Tzu-Wei Lin and Neil Walker scored.
Devers' third hit, an RBI double to left in the seventh off Ramon Rosso, extended Boston's lead to 5-3. Bradley Jr. added an RBI double in the eighth for a 6-3 advantage.
