Marcelo Mayer Hits First Multi-Homer Game in Majors

Boston Red Sox rookie Marcelo Mayer hit two home runs in Wednesday's 4-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays at Fenway Park, achieving his first multi-homer game in the majors. Mayer, 22, became the youngest Red Sox player to hit multiple home runs in a game since Rafael Devers in 2018. His performance provided a crucial offensive boost for a lineup affected by injuries, and he now has a .250/.313/.523 slash line with three homers and four RBIs through his first 15 games. Teammates and coaches have praised Mayer's preparation and poise, marking him as a potential future franchise cornerstone. The Red Sox have now secured back-to-back series wins for the first time since early May. The emergence of Mayer and other young prospects is fueling optimism about Boston’s future.
