Devers hits his 30th homer as the Giants snap the Braves’ 7-game streak
Rafael Devers achieved his 30th home run of the season, while rookie Turner Hill contributed a two-run double as the San Francisco Giants ended the Atlanta Braves’ seven-game winning streak with a 7-3 victory on Monday night. Anthony Molina secured the win for the Giants by defeating his former team in his first start of the season, allowing three runs in five innings and striking out a career-high six batters.
Jason Foley, Reiver Sanmartin, and Dylan Smith complemented the pitching staff with four shutout innings from the bullpen. Devers' first-inning home run to right field was his fifth 30-home run milestone in his career, and his fourth home run in his last eight outings. He went 1 for 3 with two runs scored and two walks. The Giants won the game thanks to Michael Harris II's 23rd home run, Osleivis Basabe's leadoff home run in the sixth inning, and Bryce Eldridge's RBI single in the ninth inning.
The Giants, with 25 fewer wins than the NL East-leading Braves this season, secured a 5-1 series victory against Atlanta. The Braves' starting pitcher, Bryce Elder, faced a 8-8 record, while the Giants' starting pitcher, Logan Webb, maintained an 8-8 record as well.
