SF Giants fall to Red Sox in Rafael Devers’ first game against former team

SAN FRANCISCO — The Giants believe that, in time, Rafael Devers will look the part of a three-time All-Star and two-time Silver Slugger. They do not doubt the ability. But for now, they must wait.

In his first game against his former team, Devers went hitless in five at-bats in his first game against as the Giants fell to the Boston Red Sox, 7-5, on Friday night at Oracle Park. San Francisco has lost three of its first four games since Devers made his debut, as well as six of its last eight overall.
