Entering Tuesday on a six-game losing streak, the Giants desperately needed to switch something up. Having your star slugger play a new position for the first time in his MLB career might not be the obvious move to help turn things around, but that's exactly what San Francisco manager Bob Melvin did.
And the early returns couldn't have been much better, as the Giants shellacked the Atlanta Braves 9-0 at Truist Park to end their July slide. Landen Roupp's five shutout innings certainly deserve credit, but at the forefront of the momentum-shifting win were Rafael Devers and Wilmer Flores, who traded places for a night to great success.
