Rafael Devers is the hottest hitter in baseball:
He has nine homers in his last thirteen games and his 70 extra-base hits are second in MLB to Pete Crow-Armstrong's 74.
Despite Devers' recent heroics I think today we have to give our "tip o' the cap" to FNG 24-year old Anthony Molina. He struck out six over a five-inning start. He gave up a two-run homer, his only hit allowed. And the runs were unearned as it was a Devers error that put the baserunner on. It was a good audition. I figure every youngster is auditioning for 2027. Speaking of youngsters, Christian Koss served notice with two homers today. And the Giants kept scoring which meant the Mets getting two in the 9th was irrelevant.
Both Grant McCray and Osleivis Basabe homered so all nine runs were the result of big flies. Bryce Eldridge hit his 20th double.
Tomorrow's game is early (10:40 PT). Go Giants!

We know he at least lost one extra base hit, on that ground rule double to win a game a few weeks ago with 2 RBI, that was changed to a single with one RBI.
It's been a rocky road for Devers in SF but the guy is a genuine talent. He's a true "middle of the order presence." He's hit 55 HR in 233 games in orange and black.
It's too bad this team can't pitch. All the homers in the world won't fix that!
