The San Francisco Giants extended their winning streak to five games on Sunday, edging out the Atlanta Braves 4-3 and completing a series sweep at Oracle Park. Mike Yastrzemski was the star, driving in three runs—including a clutch two-out, two-run double in the fourth inning that tied the game. He later scored the go-ahead run on an error by Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies.
The Braves, who have now dropped seven straight games, took an early lead behind Matt Olson, who accounted for all three Atlanta runs with a fielder’s choice and a two-run double. Despite the loss, Atlanta has been competitive, with eight of their last defeats coming by just one run.
Giants starter Landen Roupp allowed three runs over six innings, while the bullpen shut the door with three scoreless frames. Camilo Doval picked up his ninth save of the season. Tyler Fitzgerald contributed defensively, helping keep the Braves off the board late..
The Giants, now 38-28, are off Monday before starting a series against the Rockies. The Braves, reeling at 27-37, head to Milwaukee to face the Brewers next.
