Rafael Devers hit a two-run home run for the San Francisco Giants against his former team, the Boston Red Sox, shortly after being traded. After struggling in his initial games, he made an impactful statement with a home run in the third inning. This achievement makes him one of only ten players to homer for and against the same team within a week. Devers' departure from Boston followed a decline in his relationship with the Red Sox organization over positional changes and contract negotiations, marking a fresh chapter in his career.
Devers became the 10th player to homer for and against the same team in a span of seven days or fewer, a rare achievement in MLB.
His relationship with the Red Sox had been deteriorating for months, especially after the signing of Gold Glove third baseman Alex Bregman.
The transition to San Francisco marks a fresh start for Devers, who aims to leave his Boston baseball challenges behind.
Devers' first home run for the Giants came just six days after his trade from the Red Sox, highlighting his quick adaptation.
