Rafael Devers hit a game-tying solo home run off Pirates right-hander Carmen Mlodzinski in the bottom of the second inning. The long ball, his second straight game with a homer, extended Devers's hitting streak to eight games. The fly ball traveled 399 feet with a 102.5 mph exit velocity and is Devers's fourth home run of the season; he has eight hits in his last 23 at-bats. This burst of production gives the San Francisco Giants an offensive lift and helps stabilize the middle of their lineup.
