Rafael Devers exploded for a 4-for-4 with two homers and five RBIs at Oracle Park, lifting the Giants past the Cubs 12-3. A 410-foot first-inning blast and a six-inning three-run shot highlighted a night where Devers also smoked a 107 mph double, and the Bay Area crowd rode a wave of momentum as SF moved closer in the NL Wild Card chase. The win showcased Devers’ power and timing, reinforcing why San Francisco handed him a long-term anchor role.

SF sits at 65-68, seven games back of the Mets for the final wild-card nod, but nights like this rekindle belief. Devers stands at 27 homers on the year, and when he’s locked in, Oracle Park becomes a friend rather than foe. The Giants still face an uphill path, yet a performance like Wednesday’s keeps the math in reach and fantasy rosters buzzing about late-season splashes.
