RAFAEL DEVERS Hit his first home run with the Giants of San Francisco SATURDAY. Adding a footnote – or a punctuation mark – The saga of being exchanged by the Boston Red Sox Last Sunday, the Homer came against his former team.
Devers struck the circuit during the third round, hitting a quick bullet of 96 MPH left above the plate by Brayan Bello on the opposite field. The ball came out of the battery bat at 105.5 MPH, according to Statcast, giving it a lot of fuel to pass over the wall from the left field to Oracle Park. The two -point shot gave the giants A 3-0 lead.
At the very least, details striking a circuit against the Red Sox would seem to be an assertion for him after being described as the villain in his dispute with the team reluctantly moving the third base to the designated striker and later refuse to play at the first basis While criticizing Boston’s front office.

Before Devers took deliciously Bello on Saturday, the scenario facing his former team so shortly after being exchanged seemed that he could lack the drama that many wanted. He hit 0 for 5 Friday in his first match against Boston. The manager of the Giants, Bob Melvin, said that would not play the first base without having more practice at the post.
DISHORTENCE A Willingness to play the first base in San Francisco shrouded the eyebrows, just like his assertion that He won respect Due to its production for Boston over eight seasons and more. The leaders of the Red Sox, Sam Kennedy and Craig Breslow, trying to justify the profession by saying that they “could not find the alignment” with the delay indicated that the relationship was embittered.
However, it is also clear that the two parties want to pass this now, on the basis of the remarks of the manager of the Red Sox Alex Cora after being asked if He “would erase the air” With deverses from the two were in the same stadium this weekend.
“Erase the air on what? It is a job. It’s baseball. It’s a business. That’s how it works,” Cora told Jesse Rogers d’Espn. “It is not the first guy who was exchanged. He is not the last guy.”
“People have their opinion on everything,” he added. “Communication, first base, DH, third base, manager, GM, the owner, whatever. It is a baseball job. From my end, I turn the page.”
Devers struck his 16th season’s 16th circuit, his first player in the national league, may have helped turn this page.
