San Francisco Giants Dominate New York Mets 12-4 Behind Devers' Breakout

The San Francisco Giants snapped out of their losing streak with an impressive 12-4 win over the New York Mets, powered by Rafael Devers' breakout performance. Devers ended his slump by hitting a home run and driving in four runs, leading the Giants to a decisive victory on Sunday at Citi Field.

Carson Whisenhunt Earns First Major League Win

Rookie pitcher Carson Whisenhunt made his mark with 5 1/3 innings for his first big league win. Making only his second career start, Whisenhunt held the Mets to two runs—one earned—on three hits, including an early home run to Francisco Lindor. The solid pitching performance helped the Giants take two of three from the Mets after a previous six-game losing streak.

Devers Powers Giants Offense

Rafael Devers’ three-run homer capped a four-run third inning against Mets starter Frankie Montas. The 403-foot shot to right field marked just his fifth home run since joining the Giants from Boston on June 15. Devers added a run-scoring single in the fourth, helping extend the Giants' lead.

Giants Surge in Ninth Inning

The Giants' offense continued to pile on late in the game. Dominic Smith, a former Met, contributed a two-run single, and Casey Schmitt blasted a three-run homer off reliever Ryne Stanek. Backup catcher Luis Torrens recorded the final out, sealing the Giants' high-scoring win.

Key Moment

Devers’ first home run since July 23 was a turning point, ending a 3-for-29 slump and providing the Giants with much-needed momentum. His power at the plate set the tone for the rest of the game.

Key Stat

Dominic Smith, who played with the Mets from 2017 to 2022, tallied five RBI over the three-game series—matching his total from his previous 25 games combined.

What’s Next for the Mets and Giants

The Mets continue their six-game homestand Monday night with Sean Manaea (1-1, 2.08 ERA) starting against Cleveland's Slade Cecconi (5-7, 3.77 ERA). The Giants move on to open a three-game series in Pittsburgh, where Justin Verlander (1-8, 4.53 ERA) will take the mound.

In summary

The San Francisco Giants rolled to a 12-4 win over the New York Mets, thanks to a breakout day for Rafael Devers and a first career win for rookie pitcher Carson Whisenhunt. The Giants’ offense erupted, including key contributions from former Met Dominic Smith and a big ninth inning. With their losing streak behind them, the Giants look to keep up the momentum as both teams continue their respective series this week.
