Now, five games into the actual season, Devers is still searching for his first hit. Following an 0-for-3 performance with three more strikeouts in an 8-5 loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Monday, Devers is 0-for-19 on the young season with 15 strikeouts, which is a record for the most strikeouts through the first five games of a season.

Boston Red Sox designated hitter Rafael Devers is off to an historically poor start to the season. He went 0 for 4 with a walk and three strikeouts on Saturday against the Texas Rangers, extending his hitless streak to 12 at-bats and securing a place for himself in the record books.

Boston Red Sox designated hitter Rafael Devers is the first major leaguer to strike out 12 times in a season's first four games.
