Before Friday night’s 7-3 win over the San Francisco Giants, pitching had largely powered the Red Sox’s seven wins in their previous eight games. In the series opener at Oracle Park, it was the offense’s turn to pick up the pitching staff.

Ceddanne Rafaela had three hits and a tiebreaking homer, leading the Boston Red Sox to a 7-5 victory over their former star slugger Rafael Devers and the San Francisco Giants.
