Devers goes deep vs. Red Sox for first homer as Giant

SAN FRANCISCO -- A day after going 0 for 5 against his old team, new San Francisco Giants designated hitter Rafael Devers hit his first home run in his new uniform, taking good friend Brayan Bello out to left field in the bottom of the third inning on Saturday afternoon.

Devers, 28, belted the 0-1 fastball to straightaway left field for a two-run home run, extending a Giants lead out to 3-0. It came a day after he hit a ball to left center which would have been a home run in 5 of 30 parks -- and likely off the green monster at Fenway -- but was caught at the wall.
