In a highly anticipated showdown, Rafael Devers faced off against his former team, the Boston Red Sox, but the night ended in disappointment for the Giants’ designated hitter. Devers went 0-for-5, struggling to make an impact as his new team fell to Boston, 7-5.
Devers, celebrated with a standing ovation from fans of both teams, grounded out to first base in his first at-bat. He showcased fleeting moments of brilliance, nearly powering a double in the second inning, but it was snatched away by Ceddanne Rafaela’s stellar catch. Another potential hit in the fifth was thwarted by precise fielding from the Red Sox, culminating in a strikeout against Aroldis Chapman in the ninth inning.
Despite Devers’ struggles, Boston thrived, coming back from multiple deficits to secure their victory, highlighted by Rafaela’s pivotal sixth-inning home run. While the night may not have gone as Devers hoped, the Red Sox showcased resilience and depth, reaffirming their competitive edge.
