- On Saturday afternoon, Rafael Devers connected for his inaugural homer as a San Francisco Giant, doing so against his former team, the Boston Red Sox.

- Devers launched a two-run homer to left field off Red Sox pitcher Brayan Bello, sending the ball approximately 370 feet with a hard-hit exit speed of 105.5 mph, which increased the Giants' advantage to 3-0.

- Devers’ milestone homer contributed to the Giants’ 3-2 win, and it suggests his adjustment to San Francisco is progressing as he moves past past tensions to help the contending Giants.
