Rafael Devers went 4-for-4 with three RBIs, Trevor Story hit a three-run homer and Carlos Narvaez added a two-run blast as the visiting Boston Red Sox snapped the Kansas City Royals’ seven-game win streak with a 10-1 victory on Saturday night.

It was the second four-hit game of the season for Devers and 15th of his career. Ceddanne Rafaela tripled, doubled and scored twice, Jarren Duran went 2-for-5 with an RBI and two runs and Alex Bregman had two hits and an RBI and scored a run for Boston, which pounded out 15 hits while evening the three-game series at one game apiece.

Garrett Crochet (4-2) picked up the win, limiting Kansas City to one run on seven hits over seven innings. He walked one and struck out nine, including Bobby Witt Jr. with a 98 mph fastball with the bases loaded for the final out in the bottom of the seventh.

Witt, who had two hits, doubled for the team’s lone extra-base hit. Hunter Renfroe and Vinnie Pasquantino each added two hits for Kansas City, which lost for just the third time in its last 19 games. Cole Ragans (2-2) suffered the loss, allowing four runs on seven hits in five innings. He struck out eight and walked two.

Boston took a 1-0 lead in the third when Duran singled with two outs and scored on a double to left-center by Devers, snapping a 23 2/3-inning scoreless inning streak by Kansas City starters.

Kansas City tied it in the bottom of the third when Witt singled, stole second, went to third on a balk and scored on a two-out single by Mark Canha.

The Red Sox took a 4-1 lead in the fifth when five consecutive batters reached base. Narvaez, who had three hits, started the rally with a walk and went to third on a double by Rafaela. Duran, Devers and Bregman followed with consecutive RBI singles.

Boston broke the game open in the seventh with a three-run homer to left-center by Story to make it 7-1, and added three runs in the eighth on a two-run shot by Narvaez and an RBI single by Devers to drive in Rafaela, who had tripled.
