Rafael Devers Hits First Home Run for Giants Against Former Team Red Sox
- On the afternoon of Saturday, June 22, 2025, Rafael Devers launched his first homer as a member of the San Francisco Giants, doing so against his previous team, the Boston Red Sox.
- Devers was traded from the Red Sox to the Giants in a five-player deal on the preceding Sunday after disagreements about his role, including refusing to play first base.
- During the game, Giants' pitcher Landen Roupp dominated the Red Sox for six innings while Devers hit a two-run homer off a 96-mph fastball from Brayan Bello, pushing the Giants' lead to 3-0.
- Devers launched his 16th homer of the season, a powerful opposite-field shot that traveled approximately 370 feet and left the bat at over 105 mph, igniting the crowd at Oracle Park despite the Red Sox's late comeback falling short in a 3-2 defeat.
- The home run suggests Devers has begun to move on from his Boston tenure as he focuses on helping the Giants contend, while the Red Sox face challenges replacing his production.
