Devers’ Power Propels Giants Past Red Sox in Tight Matchup
In a thrilling game this weekend, Rafael Devers showcased his power with his first home run as a Giant, leading San Francisco to a 3-2 victory over his former team, the Boston Red Sox. Both teams faced challenges, with Boston’s Brayan Bello striking out six over six innings. Bello allowed three runs but only one was earned due to defensive errors, including a mistake from David Hamilton that set the stage for Devers’ decisive homer.
On the other side, Giants starter Landen Roupp dominated the Red Sox lineup, pitching six shutout innings and striking out seven. Despite strong efforts from the Boston bullpen, who recorded 19.2 scoreless innings over six games, the Red Sox struggled offensively, failing to land an extra-base hit until the ninth inning.
The Red Sox managed a late-game rally, highlighted by a double from rookie Roman Anthony and an error that allowed another run to score. However, their comeback fell short as San Francisco’s pitching held strong. The defeat drops the Red Sox to 40-38 overall. The series finale is set for Sunday at 4:05 PM ET.
