Verlander's arm, Devers' power defeat Braves in Atlanta
Briefly

Justin Verlander finally secured his first win of the season against the Atlanta Braves. After a shaky start where he loaded the bases, he recovered to allow only one hit over four innings. Rafael Devers contributed significantly by hitting two home runs, leading to a 9-3 victory for the San Francisco Giants.
