Devers went hitless in five at-bats on Friday night against the Red Sox as the SF Giants lost the series opener at Oracle Park.

SAN FRANCISCO — Rafael Devers made one point abundantly clear ahead of the Giants’ three-game series against his former team: He was not interested in talking about the past. Did Devers want to leave the Boston Red Sox? “ That’s in the past. Those are not decisions that I control.”

Devers, 28, entered Friday night 3 for his first 11 with the Giants. In his previous 73 games with the Red Sox, he had hit .272/.401/.504 with 15 home runs. The resulting 152 OPS+ would represent a new career-high if he were able to maintain it the rest of the way.
