Devers

Devers put the Giants on the board with a base hit in the third inning to drive in a run. He then blew the game open with a three-run homer off Brent Suter. That’s back-to-back days with a home run for Devers, giving him seven in July and 22 on the season. The 29-year-old slugger is slashing .249/.319/.489 with 55 runs scored and 60 RBI across 442 plate appearances.

Devers gave the Giants their first lead in the home half of the first inning as he pummeled a 2-1 fastball from Grayson Rodriguez for a 362-foot (101.8-mph) two-run shot. He then strolled to the dish with the bases loaded in the 10th inning and punched a single into left field to send the Giants’ faithful into a frenzy. His overall slash line on the season has continued to tick up, now up to a respectable .244/.315/.476 to go along with 21 homers and 56 RBI in 438 plate appearances.

Devers lucked into a 339-foot homer on Saturday, but that was the only time he reached base in 14 at-bats against the Mariners, and he struck out three times in all three games of the series. It’s just the seventh time this year that a player has fanned three times in three straight games.

Devers drove in all of the Giants’ runs. His two singles were actually his hardest-hit balls of the game, leaving his bat at 109 and 107 mph. His homer was hit just 98 mph and would have made it out of 16 ballparks, according to Statcast. Devers is up to 19 homers and 52 RBI on the season.

Devers hit two of the Giants’ four homers, both off of Tanner Gordon. The 29-year-old slugger has now gone deep 18 times in 2026, and he’s driven 47 RBI over the first 89 games of the 2026 campaign. After a disastrous — at least per expectations — start to the season, Devers is starting to swing the bat at a level fantasy managers have grown accustomed to.

Devers blasted a 432 foot moonshot as the Giants tried to make up a two touchdown deficit against the Rockies in Coors Field. They’d never get close to striking distance, but it’s nice to see that Devers has fully pulled the nose up on his season. Overall, he’s up to 16 home runs and a .775 OPS. Over the last 30 days, he’s hit nine of those home runs and has an .893 OPS. That looks much more like the Devers we know than who he was over the first chunk of the season.

Devers drew a pair of walks in this one and slugged a solo homer off Taylor Clarke to lead off the seventh inning, a 111.3 mph blast at 424 feet to give the Giants their second run in the game. The home run was Devers’ 15th of the season while slashing 242/.304/.459 with 39 runs scored and 44 RBI. The home run also marks the 250th in his career for the 29-year-old slugger.

Devers’ first homer traveled 404 feet to center. The second went 359 feet and clanged off the foul pole in right. It’s Devers’ first two-homer game of the year and 23rd of his career. He has seven homers in June and 14 for the year, but he’s still at just .240/.300/.454 overall, and he’s on pace for 202 strikeouts. He’d never topped 150 strikeouts before finishing with 192 last year.

Giants president Buster Posey told reporters that Devers and manager Tony Vitello had a conversation following a bizarre incident where he tried to wave off a pinch-runner during the ninth inning of Sunday’s loss to the Marlins. The 29-year-old slugger doesn’t appear to be facing any discipline from the club for his actions. He’s been at the epicenter of trade speculation and figures to be on the move by the trade deadline in early August.

This was pretty amazingly immature stuff. The bench signaled to Devers that he was coming out, and he started shaking his finger at the manager. As Jonah Cox got to first base to sub in for him, Devers tried to wave him off and send him back out to the dugout, leaving the rookie bewildered. Finally, the first base ump had to step in and indicate that Cox was in the game, at which point Devers walked the dugout and threw off his helmet. It’ll be interesting to see if anything results from this. Most players would probably get benched for a game at minimum.
