Rafael Devers hit his 30th home run of the season as the Giants defeated the Braves, underscoring a powerful stretch that has him among a rare Giants-era group with back-to-back 30-homer seasons. Despite the hot bat, San Francisco remains unlikely to contend postseason-wise, raising questions about whether 2026 will be a wasted year or a rebuild around his offense.
