Devers’ arrival came two days after San Francisco acquired the three-time All-Star in a blockbuster deal with the Red Sox, who received left-hander Kyle Harrison, right-hander Jordan Hicks, 2024 first-round Draft pick James Tibbs III and pitching prospect Jose Bello in return.

Gabriel Arias hit a go-ahead homer in the sixth inning and doubled in the ninth on a night when San Francisco celebrated new slugger Rafael Devers at every chance, and the Cleveland Guardians spoiled the fun by beating the Giants 3-2.

The San Francisco Giants need to find a permanent position for Rafael Devers, but that will be easier said than done based on the current roster construction.
