Battery Power • • sports
Key Points:
- The Braves ended their four-game losing streak with a 3-1 victory over the San Francisco Giants at Oracle Park, using six pitchers in the process.
- Reynaldo Lopez started and pitched three innings despite some struggles and decreased velocity in his first start in nearly two months.
- Hurston Waldrep, recently called up, showed wildness but managed to pitch over two innings with four strikeouts, while Dylan Lee and the bullpen effectively shut down the Giants in the later innings.
- The Braves' offense was modest, scoring three runs on seven singles and a double, with key RBIs from Dominic Smith and Ozzie Albies.
- Saturday’s pitching duel will feature Bryce Elder against Logan Webb, with hopes that Elder regains his form.
