Rafael Devers and Christian Koss both homer twice as Giants roll to 9-5 win over Mets
Rafael Devers and Christian Koss each hit two home runs on Saturday, leading the San Francisco Giants to a 9-5 victory over the New York Mets. This marked the second time this season that at least two Giants players each hit two homers in a single game. The last instance of this occurred in 1958 when Willie Mays and Daryl Spencer achieved the feat against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
This season, the Giants have had three such games, the most in their history since that 1958 span. Devers is currently leading the team with 35 home runs, the most by a Giants player since Barry Bonds hit 45 in 2004. Koss, making his first appearance in the dual-homer game, now has four home runs in his first 124 Major League Baseball appearances.
The Giants' six home runs were just one shy of their season high set on June 5. Starting pitchers for the game were not yet announced.
