Giants Aim for Sweep Against Struggling Braves in Series Finale

Atlanta Braves

The San Francisco Giants are poised to complete a sweep against the Atlanta Braves in a critical series finale at Truist Park. After securing victories in the first two games with scores of 7-2 and 7-5, the Giants look to extend their winning streak to four games. On the mound for San Francisco will be Landen Roupp, while the Braves will counter with Martin Perez.

Currently sitting at 31-43, the Giants have turned a corner in June, boasting an 8-7 record this month. Their offense has been particularly impressive, ranking tied for second in the league with a .276 batting average and fifth in home runs with 26. Although their pitching staff has faced challenges, allowing a 5.10 ERA (25th in the league) and a .267 opponent batting average (26th), they have shown improvement recently, lowering their ERA to 3.60 (7th) and opponent batting average to .246 (14th) over the past week.

In stark contrast, the Braves are struggling, currently on a three-game losing streak and having dropped six of their last seven contests. With a record of 6-7 in June, this marks their poorest 13-game stretch of the season. They have been outscored 22-8 in the last three games and 38-22 over the past week. However, the Braves have found some solace in Martin Perez, who has led them to three consecutive wins when he takes the mound and eight victories in his last 11 starts.
