For the first time since the trade, Harrison had a chance to settle the score.<\/p>\n<p>It did not go well for the Giants. Harrison, who is in the midst of a breakout year with the Milwaukee Brewers, dominated San Francisco\u2019s lineup at American Family Field. The left-hander held them to one run on four hits and matched his career high with 12 strikeouts in 5.2 innings.<\/p>\n<p>The extra kicker in the deal is that Harrison struck out Devers all three times they faced each other. All three strikeouts came on well-located four-seamers.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, the Brewers prevailed 8-3 in the game, with Harrison picking up the win against his former club.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Kyle Harrison on Facing Giants After Trade<\/h2>\n<p>It can be a mixed feeling for a player to face the team he was drafted by, developed under, and debuted for. But for Harrison, a chance to show the Giants made a mistake trading him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI try telling myself it\u2019s another game, but you got that extra little bit of conviction behind those pitches,\u201d Harrison told the\u00a0Milwaukee Journal Sentinel\u2019s\u00a0Curt Hogg.<\/p>\n<p>While Harrison stressed that it\u2019s just one of 162 games, he also admitted the excitement of facing his former club added some conviction behind his pitches.<\/p>\n<p>Harrison dominated with his four-seamer and slurve combination. The two offerings accounted for 100 of the left-hander\u2019s 106 pitches. His fastball had some extra velocity, at 0.7 MPH more than his season average of 94.9 MPH. The effectiveness was evident, as Harrison induced 19 whiffs and landed 20 more called strikes on the night.<\/p>\n<p>The left-hander grew up near the Bay Area, pitching at De Salle High School. The Giants drafted him with a third-rounder in 2020 and he debuted with the club in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s always going to be personal. I grew up 40 minutes from [Oracle Park]. I had a great time there, cherished my memories with them. It feels good, but I got to do it again in five days. So I can\u2019t get too caught up in that.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Giants Could Regret Rafael Devers Trade<\/h2>\n<p>Less than a year after the Rafael Devers trade, it hasn\u2019t gone well for the Giants. While his the exit velocity and quality of contact metrics are better, Devers\u2019 overall production has declined in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Entering play on June 2, the left-handed-hitting slugger is slashing .247\/.298\/.421 with seven home runs and a 101 wRC+. That\u2019s a far cry from even what he produced after the trade, in which he had a 126 wRC+.<\/p>\n<p>The Giants didn\u2019t envision a league-average bat when they paid a premium for Devers. The 29-year-old had been a consistent 30-homer bat than would drive in 100 runs a season with the Red Sox.<\/p>\n<p>The idea was the Giants were making a push to separate early in the 2025 Wild Card race. That didn\u2019t happen, as they finished around .500 for the fourth straight season with 81 wins.<\/p>\n<p>The Giants\u2019 rotation struggles certainly don\u2019t make the pill easier to swallow. The club currently ranks 29th in starter ERA (4.93) and 20th in FIP (4.25). The struggles of the rotation have been a contributing factor to a 23-38 record.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, it\u2019s a case where the Giants took a big swing-and-miss on acquiring an impact talent to improve their fortunes. But as they are headed for the National League\u2019s cellar, it can be tough to watch Harrison thrive with another club that seems postseason bound.<\/p>\n<p>Michael McDermott Michael McDermott is a writer at Heavy Sports covering the Arizona Diamondbacks and Major League Baseball.
