MILWAUKEE — Scoreboard:Kyle Harrison3,Rafael Devers0.
There’s one clear winner from the biggest blockbuster of last season, and it certainly isn’t theGiants, Devers or his former team, theRed Sox.
It’s the guy who struck out the slugger he was traded for three times in their first time facing off Tuesday night.
An added bonus: Harrison gets to ride the good vibes of the Brewers, who improved to 37-21 with their 8-3 win behind the Bay Area kid while the two teams that swung the deal last June wallow a combined 24 games below .500.
And, oh by the way, he’s a shoo-in to make his first All-Star appearance next month.
“It’s been good vibes here from day one,” Harrison said after flummoxing his former team to the tune of one run and a dozen punchouts, maintaining a 1.57 ERA that is lower than any Brewers pitcher in his first 11 starts with the club besides C.C. Sabathia during his iconic stretch in 2008.
Meanwhile, the loss dropped the Giants to 63-88 since president of baseball operations Buster Posey declared “It’s time to go” after sending Harrison to Boston with two other prospects for Devers last June.
“I think anytime you’re giving up young talent, it’s a bit uncomfortable,” general manager Zack Minasian said this week. “In almost all cases it comes back to what you’re getting in return.”
The Giants were 10 games over .500 at the time and determined Devers was worth the price.
