Rafael Devers had every right to admire his work. Devers has seldom looked the part of a three-time All-Star since joining the Giants in mid-June. The slow start is understandable — a life-altering trade, lingering back and groin ailments, a new position — but San Francisco's slim chances of making the playoffs hinge on Devers' ability to carry an offense. On Sunday, Devers did just that.

Carson Whisenhunt recorded his first career win by combining with three relievers on an eight-hitter Sunday afternoon for the visiting San Francisco Giants, who beat the New York Mets 12-4 in the rubber game of a three-game series. Rafael Devers was 3-for-4 with a homer and four RBIs for the Giants, who improved to 4-11 since the All-Star Break. Patrick Bailey and Dominic Smith had two RBIs each while Casey Schmitt drilled a three-run homer in the ninth. Heliot Ramos collected a run-scoring single.
