Accepts blame in loss Devers went 2-for-5 with a double and and RBI in Thursday's 10-9 loss to Baltimore.

Impact Devers offered usual production from the two-hole, but he was a victim of pitch-clock strike out leading off the eighth inning. The Red Sox were down 10-4 at the time but mounted a three-run rally after Devers' strikeout and left a runner on. There's no telling what an extra out would have done.

Yoshida has appeared in two games this spring and slotted in at cleanup. In Devers' lone appearance, he's batted out of the two-hole.
