Overview

  • In the fourth inning, Devers failed to cover first on Brett Baty’s slow roller, allowing an infield single that loaded the bases with no outs.
  • He bobbled Brandon Nimmo’s 102 mph grounder in the fifth but recovered to record an out before committing his first official error on a hard-hit Juan Soto grounder.
  • Devers’s error on a fumbled exchange in the sixth directly preceded Mark Vientos’s two-run double off Robbie Ray, which provided the final margin in a 2-1 loss.
  • The Mets secured their sixth straight win at Oracle Park, while the Giants fell to 54-51 after dropping eight of ten games and slipped two games behind for the third NL wild-card spot.
  • Manager Bob Melvin praised Devers’s effort and said additional in-game reps should accelerate his adjustment to first base ahead of the stretch run.
