WATCH: Rafael Devers Crushes Home Run In Fenway Return Vs. Red Sox
Rafael Devers made an emphatic statement in his first game back at Fenway Park, crushing a 412-foot home run against the Red Sox.
Rafael Devers delivered a dramatic home run during his first game back at Fenway Park since being traded to the San Francisco Giants. Playing in the fourth inning, Devers hit a solo home run off Sonny Gray, cutting Boston's lead to 5-4 and providing the former Red Sox cornerstone with an unforgettable moment in his return. The Giants shared a video of the home run on their NBC Sports account, captioning it "RAFI HOMERS IN HIS RETURN TO FENWAY."
Devers' 26th home run of the season traveled 412 feet with an exit velocity of 107.1 mph. Emotionally charged, the home run felt inevitable given the significance of Devers' return to Fenway. The trade between the two teams ended Devers' nine-season run with the Red Sox, and his performance at Fenway served as a reminder of his time with the team.
Devers, now with the Giants, entered Friday's game batting .244 with 25 home runs and 69 RBIs, raising those totals to 26 homers and 70 RBIs.
