SAN FRANCISCO — Rafael Devers just had arguably his best game as a Giant.
He got things started in the bottom of the first inning on Wednesday when he demolished a splitter right down the middle from Colin Rea 410 feet to straightaway center for a solo home run.
Devers poured it on later in the sixth inning on a sinker in the same location from Cubs reliever Taylor Rogers, pulling it over the left-field fence for a three-run blast to put the cap on a 4-for-4 performance with two home runs, a double and five RBIs in the Giants’ 12-3 walloping of the Cubs at Oracle Park. He was a triple shy of a cycle.
Devers also scored twice from third base, on a sacrifice fly from Dominic Smith in the third and in the fifth on a bloop single from Matt Chapman, which would turn into a bizarre sequence after Cubs right fielder Kyle Tucker’s attempt to throw home bounced off the helmet of Chapman, allowing Smith to score as the Giants’ lead grew to three runs.
Chapman and Ramos both added home runs of their own, with Chapman hitting the 200th of his career.
