Rafael Devers launched his 28th home run into McCovey Cove as the San Francisco Giants topped the Cincinnati Reds 3-1. Winnipeg Free Press reports the blast was Devers' 16th longball at Oracle Park this season, marking the most by any Giant since Barry Bonds in 2007.
The Giants' pitching held strong despite another injury blow. Yahoo Sports notes reliever Anthony Molina worked 4 1/3 scoreless innings, though left-hander Carson Whisenhunt departed the game with a torn ulnar collateral ligament — the second consecutive start disrupted by injury.
