Devers Connects His First Home Run with the Giants
In an exciting turn of events, Rafael Devers, the new designated hitter for the San Francisco Giants, hit his first home run with his new team. This hit came after a day in which he failed to get any hits against his former team. Devers’ 28-year-old home run was a two-run hit that extended the Giants’ lead to 3-0 in the bottom of the third inning of Saturday’s game. Devers’ connection was a clear example of power, sending the ball directly to left field without hesitation. This home run contrasted with the one from the previous day, where a similar hit was caught at the fence. Devers was transferred from Boston to San Francisco last week, after almost nine years with the Red Sox. His departure from the team was marked by some controversy.Before being traded, Devers had connected 15 home runs with Boston. Now, with his new team, he has demonstrated his batting ability, marking the beginning of a new stage in his career.I put up good numbers in Boston, and I feel like I earned some respect. If they had asked me at the beginning of spring training, yes, I would have played first base.
