Devers finished 0-for-5 with one strikeout and a flyout that reached the warning track. The Red Sox also went on to win the game 7-5 with Ceddanne Rafaela's solo homer in the top of the sixth breaking a 5-5 tie. While the 28-year-old battled his former team, fans discussed his change of scenery.

In his first at-bat, after a standing ovation from both Giants and Red Sox fans, Devers aggressively swung at the first pitch and (ironically) grounded out to first. Abraham Toro briefly bobbled it before recovering to flip it to Hunter Dobbins for the out.

SAN FRANCISCO — Rafael Devers made one point abundantly clear ahead of the Giants’ three-game series against his former team: He was not interested in talking about the past. Did Devers want to leave the Boston Red Sox? “ That’s in the past. Those are not decisions that I control.”
