Rafael Devers hits three-run homer to highlight Giants' 5-0 win over Reds, San
Francisco ends skid

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) --- Rafael Devers hit a three-run homer in the second inning
and the San Francisco Giants snapped a four-game losing streak by beating the
Cincinnati Reds 5-0 on Monday night.
Jason Foley (1-1) worked 1 1/3 innings for the win after relieving lefty Carson
Whisenhunt, who left in the third inning with pain in his pitching elbow. He
was coming off an outing in which he surrendered a career-worst seven runs and
nine hits over four innings of an 8-1 loss at Cleveland last Tuesday. He will
have an MRI on Tuesday.
San Francisco leadoff hitter Drew Gilbert doubled in each of his first two
at-bats on a cool night and well before the mist began hovering over the
outfield in the middle innings.
The Giants began the game with four straight hits off right-hander Chase Burns
(14-3), including Jung Hoo Lee's RBI single followed by a run-scoring double
from Turner Hill in the first. Two of Burns' three losses this year have come
in his last three outings.
There appeared to be no lingering ill will in the first meeting between the
clubs since a three-game series at Cincinnati in mid-April that featured a
benches-clearing brawl.
The Reds were shut out for the14th time this season, tied for the most in the
majors this season.
Lee received a break from his duties in right field and was designated hitter
after a late flight home from Boston as the Giants concluded a 1-5 road trip.
San Francisco won for just the second time in eight games.
San Francisco placed infielder Bryce Eldridge on the bereavement list while
infielder Willy Adames went on the 10-day injured list with a sprained left
elbow. Outfielder Victor Bericoto also is on the IL because of a bone bruise in
his right knee.
