Giants Snap Braves' Seven-Game Streak as Devers Reaches 30 Homers

Young hitters and a late rally backed by a lockdown bullpen pushed San Francisco to a win that closed the season series 5-1.

Overview

  • Anthony Molina beat his former team in his first start for San Francisco, which came Monday night, allowing three runs in five innings while striking out a career-high six.
  • Rafael Devers opened the game with a first-inning solo homer for his 30th of the season and later drew two walks to help extend his run of production against Atlanta.
  • Rookies Turner Hill, Jonah Cox and Bryce Eldridge drove key offense with Hill’s pinch-hit, two-run double in the sixth breaking a 3-3 tie and Cox adding a solo homer in the ninth.
  • Braves starter Bryce Elder was charged with the loss after allowing five runs in 5 1/3 innings as Atlanta’s comeback attempt fell short.
  • Relievers Jason Foley, Reiver Sanmartin and Dylan Smith worked four shutout innings to close the game, the win stopped Atlanta’s seven-game streak and left San Francisco with a 5-1 edge in the season series.
