Rafael Devers thrilled his new fans with an early RBI double, but Gabriel Arias’ sixth-inning tiebreaking home run spoiled the slugger’s San Francisco Giants debut and delivered the visiting Cleveland Guardians a 3-2 win in the opener of a three-game interleague series Tuesday night.

Emmanuel Clase pitched out of a bases-loaded, one-out jam in the bottom of the ninth, allowing the Guardians to win for the first time in four outings on a nine-game Western swing.

Acquired over the weekend from the Boston Red Sox, Devers went 2-for-5, including a rocket into Oracle Park’s “triples alley” in right-center field in his second Giants at-bat. The DH coasted into second with a double that scored Willy Adames from first base to give San Francisco a 2-1 lead in the third.

Devers sandwiched that hit with a pair of strikeouts and later tapped back to the pitcher before a one-out single in the ninth, sending Jung Hoo Lee to second.

After Heliot Ramos walked, Clase got Dominic Smith to fly out to shallow left field and then struck out Casey Schmitt for his 15th save.

Arias’ homer, his fifth of the season, came off Giants starter Robbie Ray (8-2) after the Guardians had rallied into a 2-2 tie two innings earlier on an RBI single by Carlos Santana.

Ray was pulled after the sixth, charged with all three Cleveland runs on five hits. He walked two and struck out five.

Guardians starter Slade Cecconi (2-3) went five innings, during which he allowed two runs and four hits. He walked three and struck out six.

The Giants put the potential tying run in scoring position in each of the sixth, seventh and eighth innings. They were denied all three times, including when pinch hitter Wilmer Flores lined into a double play with two on and no outs in the eighth, with Guardians left fielder Steven Kwan catching the line and nailing Schmitt off second base.

Ramos, playing left field, threw out Arias at the plate on a fly ball to end the top of the ninth, setting up the dramatic finish.

Arias’ double and homer were two of the Guardians’ six hits.

Mike Yastrzemski collected a double and two singles for the Giants, who had won their last five home games, all by one run. Adames joined Devers with two hits in a 10-hit attack for San Francisco, which has lost three straight.

Agent’s Take: What is holding up NFL Draft second-rounders from signing rookie deals?

Players selected in the NFL Draft began signing at a much faster pace starting in 2012 because of the rookie wage scale implemented in the 2011 NFL collective bargaining agreement after the lockout ended. There are very few negotiable items with rookie contracts anymore. Each pick has a salary floor and ceiling based on draft position. All of these contracts are four years in length, except teams have an option for a fifth year with first-round picks that must be exercised after the third year of the deal.Out of the 257 players selected in the 2025 NFL Draft, 220 have already signed contracts. Only three first-round picks remain unsigned. Two-way standout Travis Hunter, who was selected second overall by the Jacksonville Jaguars, is the only top-five pick who hasn't signed. More notably, the Cincinnati Bengals are engaged in a dispute […]

Richard Sherman charged with DUI: Ex-Seahawks star, Super Bowl champion hit with second such charge since 2021

Getty Images Former NFL cornerback Richard Sherman has been charged with driving under the influence following his arrest in King County back in 2024, according to the Seattle Times. Blood-test results from the State Patrol crime lab showed Sherman had a blood-alcohol level of approximately 0.11 the night of his arrest, which is above the legal limit of 0.08. Sherman was arrested following a traffic stop around 2 a.m. on Feb. 24, 2024. A Washington State Patrol officer noted Sherman's car was "bouncing back and forth within the lane it was traveling in." The five-time All-Pro cornerback refused a Breathalyzer, but did agree to some voluntary tests. Sherman showed signs of impairment during those voluntary tests, and he was arrested. Once in custody, police obtained a warrant to draw Sherman's blood. The sample, which was taken approximately two hours after the former […]
