What happened: Rafael Devers hit his 29th homer Wednesday, a two-run shot and his third long ball in as many games. It was his 17th home run at Oracle Park this season.

Why it matters: That is the most homers at the ballpark in a season since Barry Bonds hit 26 in 2004. The surge has pushed his full-season OPS to .810 with one month left in the regular season.

By the numbers: Devers went 5-for-11 with three homers and six RBIs across the three-game series. His season slash line stands at .246/.324/.486.

What to watch: He can extend the homer streak Thursday at Oracle Park.
